I've just returned from what is more or less an annual visit to in-laws in Arkansas. With the single exception of the snakes ( didn't see any even if a few saw me) the place seems purpose built just for little old me.
In ten days we spent 4 days hiking on trails here http://www.arkansasstateparks.com/pinnaclemountain/
and here

I also accompanied my brother in law ( purely as a spectator) out bow huntin, we didn't see any deer until the day after the season ended, after which they were everywhere - I tell you they have calendars! Went down to the range to shoot a few of his pistols too.
I've whinged and whined about the lack of woodland in Cheshire, at various points this trip I was aware that in three directions there was often many, many miles of nothing but pure forested wilderness full of bear, coyote, bobcats, deer, you name it.
Great food, friendly people, great scenery and lots of everything I ike to do in my free time.
I tell you its a bushy paradise. As soon as I retire , I'm there, snakes or no snakes.
