I know there are Dopers in SC, I just can’t figure out why they aren’t flying their colors. ---

I get the impression that you want a representative from every state to check in. **Zsofia** lives in South Carolina and is an active member. The only reason I listed her name is that it might make it easier for her to spot the thread when doing a search. There are quite a few New Hampshire Dopers as well. Most of the others are pretty easy too except for that South Dakota thing. ---

Well, when **NinjaChick** isn’t from New Mexico anymore, **Morning** will be. She’s not really an active member, but she has posted a few times here. And isn’t **Santo Rugger** from N.M.? I wouldn’t expect him to chime in right now, but I think he still counts. And speaking for myself, I’m another Illinois. ---

> [@NinjaChick](#): > > Eh, the wilderness is great, but it’s a bit dry and UV heavy for my comfort, and I grew up in the most densely populated state of the union. When you go from “center city Philadelphia twenty minutes away, Manhattan about two hours, and DC about two and a half hours” to “Er, well, Albuquerque is an hour away and Denver is six hours away”, it’s kind of…dull. Maybe it was when you were growing up, but it’s tenth now. NJ is about four times the density, and DC is nearly 40. ---

**Maui Lion** lives in Hawaii. That’s not just my wizard-like powers of deduction - IIRC he was hit by a drunk driver there earlier in the year. ---

> [@NinjaChick](#): > > New Mexico, for a few more weeks anyway. And thank _god_ I’m leaving, because there’s nothing worth a bowl of piss in this state. Then you really didn’t get out of the house. As for the wilderness being too dry, you do realize there is a rainforest just southeast of Cuba right? Rains every day in the summer. ---

Rains every day in the summer. Southeast of Cuba is Haiti and the Dominican Republic. I don’t think that anyone should be forced to leave the U.S. just to get away from New Mexico. There are other, better, options even if it means taking drastic measures to go into exile in New Jersey. ---

That wasn’t meant to be snarky BTW. All states have their good points and bad points. Everyone just has to find a right fit. ---
