[QUOTE="Judi, post: 3550918, member: 42813"] I could never live in the city or suburbs again. Country living, 100 acres up here in the mountains, six miles of dirt road twisting up the mountains, passing only four houses since leaving a paved road. Very private, especially since the nearest neighbors are two miles up the road no car traffic from them, they are Amish :) , South of us closest neighbors are four miles. One family, roots been on the same property since 1878 they told us. The ranch across from us (430,000 acres) has it's own air strip, we never hear the helicopter or plane land. The view from our deck is amazing, just wow evening sun setting , our own range, trails, stocked pond that is spring water fed yet neither of us fish, go figure. Wild life , every day deer, turkeys, road runners tons of birds, snakes, beavers on the property next to us. Neither of us hunt. I seen a bear last year running down the road. We seen a mountain lion twice. Plus, you should see the sky at night ...so many stars without the glare of city lights. My husband is like a little kid on his side x side. Coming home with fossils, arrow heads, old knife rusted to nothing, old shell casings. He made friends with the other neighbors, they let him ride around on their land "exploring". He takes a lunch, extra can of gas and is gone all day now that it is warmer. It's a good thirty-six miles to town. Sixteen to the nearest business a gas station / bait shop / store / deli. No phone lines, cell phones work...sometimes you have to go outside for better connections. Our electric company keeps the power on longest we been without power six hours. We have a back up generator. Our own wells (3) , septic and fenced in about three acres so the dogs are safe. We keep stored water in tanks on hand about 10,000 gals. You city people should toss your tent or hitch your camper and spend a weekend away from it all...you don't realize what your missing in life. [/QUOTE]
