When I was young, we moved from Dugway, Utah to some "stick & plum" spot in the southwest corner of South Dakota, then to Salmon, Idaho, then to a mining camp near Bethel, Alaska of all places, then to Palmer, Alaska. After that I lived in Anchorage and then Fairbanks on my own before finally moving here to my dad's farm in Eastern Oregon.

Trust me. One move, fine. But when your dad works as a geologist in a suffering mining industry during another economy crunch (late 1970's to all through the 80's), it tends to put a big strain on family in all sorts of ways. I had a rough upbringing as a result.

Indiana is pretty nice and quiet depending on where you are at. What part of the state are you going to?

[skorpion]

Skorp,
It will give you a chance to get into new things, you can try hunting, fishing, camping (in the woods) etc, im sure theres still places that you will be able to ride your dirtbike (or sell it and get a 4wheeler, they are a blast all year round,and a total riot in the snow)
You'll meet new people, see new things. Look at it as a life experiance.

I was young when we moved from Maine to PA,and at the time i knew that I would  hate it, and told myself that as soon as I was old enough I was moving right back. Then i got older, met my best friend (more like a brother) and my wife. To tell ya the truth,you couldnt drag me out of PA now.

Good luck,I hope you give it a chance 

i've already gone hunting before. Every year me and my Uncle go out to wisconsin in the early season and try to fill a few of our tags. Also im not really into fishing...i can wait for a deer to pop up after 7 hours of waiting but i just dont have the patience for a fish to bite a soggy worm attached to a hook but i might have to sell my dirtbike for a 4wheeler, it sounds like fun and i have ridden on one before. it was fun! but im keepin the dunebuggy

You'll like Indiana. The midwest is a groovy place to be.

Plus, you get a whole new crop of hot chicks to get happenin' with.

I do not think Indiana gets the lake effect snow like Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.

There's portions of Indiana that gets hit hard by lake effect.

[Motherland]

The midwest is cool...
Just remember... you could be moving to the south...

Now you can ride your dirt bike in the snow during the winter.....have fun

Ice racing is popular in some areas. Studded tires.

Don't sell the bike, sell the buggy and get an ultra-light or snowmobile.

The point is to have something useful to ride.

Not many dunes in Indiana, unless you'll be living near Lake Michigan. Even then, I'm not sure what the laws are about motorized vehicles on those dunes, as most (if not all) are within the boundaries of state or federal parks.

Either way, don't get too bummed out. There really is a lot of neat stuff to do.

[Dichotomy]

Pecos TX to St Louis kindergarten to second grade
St Louis to Chicago second through fourth grade
Chicago to Fort Worth end of fourth grade
Fort Worth to Arlington TX (not far but I liked my baseball team) fifth and sixth grade
Arlington TX to Kennedale TX finish of sixth grade
Actually stayed in the same schools till I graduated.

Learned to make new friends fast and find out what people did for fun.  Tried a lot of (legal) stuff and enjoyed myself. 

Indiana is a fairly decent place.  Perhaps not all the glitz and glamor of Las Vegas but it will give you a chance, as others have said, to experience new experiences.  Not to mention to the girls in your school you can be the mysterious dude from Las Vegas

Good luck Skorp.

Oh, and quit bagging on your mom.  She's got enough crap to deal with right now.  Try to help her and have as good an attitude as you can. 

[DREDIOCK]

If you feel that strongly about it. Then why would you leave? Find a way to stay.

And David Lee Roth had it right when he sang about Midwest farmers' daughters!

Damn kids!

You DO mean the Beach Boys
