And Colorado is still relatively similar to NH (well the mountainous region) - at least compared to other areas of the US! (Florida, Arizona, etc.)

Pawtuckaway is awesome, too... but Onway is a little more private. It's a beautiful little place. My dad and I take his jonboat out there. He lives in Candia almost on the Raymond line, so it's 5 minutes from his house. We've caught a couple bass in there. The water is pristine, the shorelines are a little crowded with trees, though. Definitely worth it.

It’s very location dependent. I never once encountered a scorpion in my 10+ years of living there but my good friend kills them daily at her house (in Phoenix; her house is at the edge of town, her backyard is all desert).

I lived in NH for 4 years but originally from the Midwest. I loved the mountains and ocean being nearby but not going to lie people were really culturally different that it never felt like home. I felt like the seacoast was progressive and everywhere else was stuck so far in the past especially with a lack of new housing for people. The motto with housing could have been “Ive got mine. Screw you.” I loved the natural beauty but the people especially in southern NH could be brutal and semi tactless. So many people i met “knew it all” and had a chip on their shoulder. Humility was not something to uphold in southern NH. Not to mention SO many trumpsters everywhere. I felt unwelcome and SO happy to be back in a city in the midwest. Sorry but it was my truth.

It’s definitely about finding what works for you. I moved from the sea coast to CO in 2004 and my only regret was not moving sooner. For me it’s the 300+ days of sun, no humidity, and barely any mosquitoes. Every time I go back to NH I am blown away by the food and beer, I don’t remember it being that good when I lived there, but maybe I just took it for granted 🤷🏻‍♂️

Left long ago for Florida and then Colorado for work. I really loved it in Colorado but ultimately this is home and family drew me back to NH. Honestly NH is perfect except for mosquitoes 🦟 🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟
