I will retire in about a year and want to spend some quality time on the water. ( short range boating for fishing and sight seeing) I may even like to buy a place with water frontage. I think fresh water is my thing since I'm now coming off of 20 years of saltwater. Might do some parts of the loop in retirement, but my real desire is to hear from loopers that have traveled past "an idyllic place--while doing the loop". A place where the environment is somewhat unspoiled, water is clear, people are kind (is this an oxymoron?) good weather 9 months of the year, 20 miles away from the nearest Sam's Club, and, where lots are not a million bucks and up. I think Florida is out because of the density. Does anyone have a place of particular beauty they have seen and would like to share that meet most of this criteria? Thanks in advance.
