I am about to retire.
Leaving the madness of Seattle, WA is appealing.
But where to go?
Any suggestions of a town that resembles Galt's Gulch?

    My thoughts with Pitcairns Island is it is big enough.
    If Gulchers started buying property there they could take over in about 20 years. Then they could "ask" for independence from New Zealand.

    Is that big enough? I wonder how many people it could support. Also it is Federal land. How would the Gulch take possesion?

    I'm so fascinated with this idea. There are whole websites dedicated to the details of making seasteading work. Blueseed tried to do it with a boat. They failed, but someone will succeed eventually.

    I’ve started to investigate the possibility of buying (for scrap price) a former offshore oil rig in international waters, to become a sort of “Rapture” (fictional underwater city from the BioShock series). There are a number of former atolls the Bureau of Land Management wishes to part with as well, some of which were never used for atomic testing and are thus relatively pristine. The idea being to create a haven for banking, tech, medical and research where the capacity of the mind is not limited by frivolous regulation.

    Kali will give you skiing, bike and sailing...Flathead Lake looks awesome. I know land pricing is being driven up by the coastal exodus to some extent.

    Or you might like our county seat. Group gathered there and encountered an anti-group. Quickly left.

    Might like my town. A group supposedly of BLM folks gathered at the City Hall but the Police were on the roof with weapons displayed. Group quickly disappeared.

    When you find it...I am ready too. I live 15 miles due south of the District of Corruption. Ready to distance myself.

    Only real skiing is in Upper Mich. Pretty flat over here. The sailing is great.
    I have folks out side of Kallispell and Missoula...they love it. Had a great time in Cody WY last fall. Awesome people met.

    Sounds very interesting. Got your voicemail. I may do a road trip soon. Could check out your Gulch.
    I have been leaning towards Montana or Wyoming.
