Back in the '80s I had an urge to move to Texas. I interviewed with MosTek 
which was a going concern back then. On the final approach to the Dallas - 
Fort Worth airport I looked around at the treeless plains and figured it 
wasn't going to work.

Texas is like Oklahoma with a better PR team. The other problem I have is 
damn near every square inch is private property. Even back east the 
Adirondack Park was managed as a wilderness by the state and the Greens 
and Whites were National Forests. 

Texas has 4 national forests but they're all in east Texas and are pretty 
flat. It's like hiking in the Ocala NF in Florida.
