Getting closer to selling the house here in ny and going to pa. I've decided on wayne county, it looks like upstate ny, without the ny. I've been down to look at a few houses there, like hawley, honesdale and south sterling. I'm also looking at areas like starucca and Damascus. I like the rural type setting with some acreage. Can you guys tell me anything about the area, that the real estate people aren't. Like places to flat out avoid. I know about the gas leasing and that nonsense, also to stay away from any home associations. basically looking to get away from ny type politics, liberals, gun laws, and such.

Also is there any work for a contractor, welder, mechanic around?

Thanks guys, looking forward to getting out of here and trying to find America again.
