Which state are you from?

Puerto Rico.
 
Colorado has many things going for it!

I would love to go back to California, but I sure can't afford it.

I know there are parts of CA that I would love, but the Lancaster area wasn't one of them. The wind was so bad that the trees along the streets grew at a 45 degree angle!
 
I had no idea there were so many.

The only one I recall visiting is Hearst Castle, but it is more a villa bordering on a palace than a castle.
Weirdly that was the one I was trying to recall when I searched for "castle in the USA" and found so many!!
 
Born in Wilkes Barre, PA, raised in the Lehigh Valley, PA. Moved to Atlanta Georgia in 1976 at age 20. Never left.
Similar Northeast to Sunbelt story. I was born in Albany NY, started my career in New York City, where I lived for two years before moving to Denver in 1981, where I have lived since. I grew up skiing, climbing and backpacking in the Adirondacks (which I still love), but took my act west.

I consider my move to Colorado to be one of my best decisions as I have thoroughly enjoyed living here. I won't leave, though I am thinking of retiring to Southwest Colorado.

Apparently there are castles in the USA and not just Disney's!

This is one of the more interesting ones .... this guy made it his life's work to build a personal castle in a reasonably remote area of Colorado... largely funded by people that stop in to see how its going...

Born in upstate NY where I lived until I joined the service at 18. Have lived in Texas, Colorado, Nevada and Idaho and have been in AZ for more than 20 years.
I have visited New York, the State, and the city. Been across Colorado and Nevada numerous times, lived in Arizona and Texas, and I am now living in Idaho. We no doubt have traipsed some of the same paths.

I saw that across parts of Texas when the leaves were off the trees, all the branches bending to the North as the predominant wind was from the south.

The farthest north I made it in California was to Disneyland.

I could still kick my butt for not making it up to San Francisco while I lived in California, the city of my origin.

I visited San Francisco (and Disneyland) when I was little. I still remember the lime tree outside the motel (I thought that was just the coolest thing), orange groves, cables cars and Fisherman's wharf. I still have a key chain from Fisherman's wharf. I was, of course, way too young to drive, but it has a red starfish encased in plastic and I wanted it, so.... Nowdays, I wouldn't want one - poor starfish.

That starfish could probably still be animated if it was removed from the plastic. Yeah, when we are young we don't think about the consequences of our little gee-gaws like starfish key fobs and rabbits foot lucky charms.

Yeah, I mentioned that I was conceived six blocks up from Fisherman's Wharf.

How retro. What about these 20th century beauties? You don't even have to fill the moat.

 
Born and raised in Seattle WA.
 
Born and raised in rural Bradford County in Northeast Pennsylvania. Resided the majority of my life in Pennsylvania, but have also resided in Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina and have also briefly sojourned in South Carolina and a few other places.

Currently living on the mountain side of the mountain/piedmont border in North Carolina. Well off the beaten path in the backwoods of Appalachia.
