Hello all -
As a reader of the Free Keene blogs and a listener of the alternative media, I am registering on the Shire Society to connect with the local area as I further explore my options in making the move. A few years ago I had traveled up for a time around the burning porcupine festival but was not able to return for awhile due to personal arrangements. With the changes in the market and recent housing situation, I'd like to take a look at these opportunities.

Welcome to the forum. I'm in the southwest part of the state; the prevailing culture is anything but liberty-minded.

Thanks…I am in the southeast part but have been out there on way to Asheville, NC. Stayed in a really cheap motel just outside of Galax and got caught in a police roadblock off the main highway out there. I asked the cop if what he was doing was legal - he was not in the mood for questions! Fortunately he did not feel like tearing up my car or anything. Anyway, I am really thinking about getting that dash cam device before I go back on the road again after all the stories I am hearing.

Wise move; I've been considering the same. Which one(s) would you advise?
Welcome
After having not gone there, it is now two years later, and I am instead looking into longer (month-to-month) accommodations rather than short-term since I don't have the ties that I did before. I'll also be interested in the counter economic opportunities if they are available. As the housing updates look sparse, any tips in that area would be appreciated as well.
Apologies for simply redirecting to FB, but it's where I spend most of my time and these days is where you can find the most help as a new mover. Here are the most critical Groups to join if you are serious about moving:
