Exactly my perquisites when I was in your shoes. Western North Carolina may fit your requirements. We have mountains, white water, some of the best mountain bike trails on the East coast, and skiing in the winter. Best of all I'm in N. Fl in 6 hours. I am a Florida native but I don't think I will ever live there again. Look into Asheville N.C.
Regards,
Charles

well oddly enough i live in eastern nc. sounds like a good idea to move to western nc
Aren't really any caves to speak of in NC though. East TN, KY, or WV you'd have all that and be closer to the caves.
Georgia sucks !

I was talking about the state, not the university!
Whoever said money can't buy love never bought a puppy.
The only problem with not living in FL and moving to NC or GA.... State income taxes. I lived in NC (but HOR was FL) and locals bitched a bunch about the State income tax. I have never lived in a State with income tax (that I had to pay)... I kinda like that.
I understand there are diveable caves on North Vancouver Island -- friends of mine have dived them. They are remote, not easily reached, and cold. But they are caves. And, of course, we also have great reef and wall diving and wreck diving. And Mexico and Florida are an easy plane flight away. One could do worse, as a diver.
Here's my plan....take my current total real estate dollars divide by 4...purchase a place in Moab (mountain biking and hiking heaven), a place somwhere equidistant between high springs and marianna (Perry), a place in the pacific northwest (my wife likes it there), and a diesel rv, pulling a wrangler. Then spend time traveling the nw se us diagonal according to the season.
