STP Needs a Retreat! What do you Think?

I'm sure many of us want a place to call "our own" when we aren't traveling. I was thinking what if somehow somebody bestowed a huge chunk of change on some poor kids who don't have much but their personal belongings and a will to live independently. Many different options came to mind. A personal favorite is an island. I have taken a moment to pick out something that would enable all of us to live out our "pirate dreams". Don't ask me how much this island is...they are giving a price only on request. I'm not sure how reasonable of an expectation it would be to actually purchase such a property, just some lame ass thing to dream about. I know there are other properties out there that are nice, but a little more reasonable. If you had crazy cash, where would you like to put an STP retreat?

I think an island is a good option:

i've always thought that having an StP collective home base would be pretty awesome, but not sure how to work out the where/when/how.

IT would be a cool thing to have, but your right ,where would you put it. In the middle of the country? In a city? on a farm? etc to make it accessible to the most people.

personally i think people would find their way there no matter where it was. slab city would be a decent option, but i'm not sure i want to spend that much time there :p

I think just deciding on a place and taking over it would be cool. I don't think you need to buy anything. Just a piece of land away from the road maybe. There's already meccas people go to as I understand.

I wish I could buy a house for all the StP ers to live in. It would be one hell of a collective house!
