Another Yankee Makes his way South

[Sreduos.]

Just moved to TN this summer from Northern Virginia, though my wife and I were both born, raised and educated in the great state of Michigan. I'm from the greater Lansing area and she is from the east side of Detroit.

 

Lived in NoVA the last 4 years and just got tired of the hustle and bustle of the metro D.C. area. It's just to expensive, to much traffic and in all honesty the folks are not generally nice there. We were looking for a change, my parents have a 'future' house just off the Tennessee river with some property so moving to the Metro Nashville area made sense to us.

 

So far we love it, cost of living is amazing compared to DC area, folks are generally really nice, traffic is nothing. I am a big two-wheel guy both human powered and petrol powered and there isn't much greater places.

 

I've gotten back on the mountain bike riding some of the great trails around, I also bought a couple ORV's and have ridden a bunch all around the metro area (Westpoint, Sequachie (sp) Valley, Loretta Lynn's etc.). Joined some other great organizations (NATRA, MTDR) and met some great new friends.

 

I have been more into guns in my past and sadly one of the reasons I'm on here is to unload a few to make way for other toys :). I have no problem supporting places that provide a great service so I started out with the lifetime membership for this site. It really looks like a great site and look forward to being a part of the community.
