I had to check a map to see where Tennessee is. Ya, I think that general region would work nicely, but you do need to plan these things out years in advance, unlike all your incoming guests from the south who just waltz in and then decide to go where the benefits are ripe and the pickings aren't slim.

Yeah, it's get on my nerves when I hear millennials talk about baby boomers selling their future's out. As if they wouldn't of accepted those great benefits and pensions my Dad's generation got, or the jobs that were available back then too. I know I would of, if I'm being honest. There's plus and minuses for both sides.

I must admit that I don't get out much. My family (dairy farmers) didn't travel much when I was a kid. Once I had a family, I took some really nice trips. Most of those were out west, because we had family in that direction, too.
I have done some major puppy deliveries for a friend the past couple years. I thought Pennsylvania, Kentucky, & Tennessee were beautiful states when I drove through them. Western New York state reminded me of my area of Wisconsin. There are several areas that I still haven't seen. If I haven't mentioned where you live, I most likely haven't been there.
Personally, I have always loved the lake shore of Lake Superior (Upper Michigan), but I only visit there during the summer months.
My backyard is 72 acres of woods, & I feel blessed to have it. I got up at 3:30 am this morning, and was in my hunting blind by 4:45 am (farthest spot from my house/drove my Mule half way there) I sat there until noon! If you're in the blind before the birds start chirping, you know you're good. They turned on around 5 am. Turkey action was horrible today, but the deer put on a show for me. Which figures, my 2nd turkey season started today. I saw the smallest fawn I have ever seen in the woods today. I was the cutest little thing.
I had 4 hours of driving lessons after school tonight. Being semi-retired & working part-time isn't that bad!
I'm not sure society was prepared for the baby boomers retiring. I see that especially in education. I get a request from my local district to come back each year. It's always during the school year, because someone is not working. For example - a science teacher selling pot to students doesn't look good. This year it was a less drastic situation (maturity leave for someone having twins). I've learned to say "no, but thanks for asking!"
We're getting a lot of refugees from Chicago and Cali rn in Tennessee.
TN is where people move when they get priced out of the city and want to snap up some cheap realestate lol. East of TN the better they are correct.
