missmolly: "BTW, my town, Blue Hill, Maine, also made the list, as did another town where I also looked at property: Traverse City, Michigan. "
That's neat. One I noted was Leavenworth, Washington. I remember hiking up in the Cascades near there, the Icycle river, the prettiest place I'd ever been in my young life. Always thought I'd make it back there, but never have. Gotta do it some day!
