Yeah... so these are the prettiest pics out of the bunch that I took. Feel free to feast your eyes on a lot of grass, rocks, sky, water, and the one dude who wanted to throw himself off a rock.

Makes me want to buy a better camera and take some pictures of Trail Of Tears State Park. It's within driving distance from my house. By that, I mean, an hour away.

[Zephyric]

For me, the drive is worth it as long as I can get peace of mind afterwards. Hikes give me that. )

I live on 80 acres and at least 3/4 is covered in woods. Have two creeks too.

Yet I still drive to see other woods.

I'd like to have a small house in a place like yours, Sunshine. That would be like my haven when the noise gets to be too much.

That does sound perfect where you live Sunshine. I'll probably end up living somewhere like that when i get older:)

And the pictures are beautiful, i really do need to go on a walk through the trails or something....

But that's just it, y'all do not always understand how much of a pain in the ass it can be living this far out. Grocery store? It's a twenty minute drive. Walmart? That's a half hour away. Nearest Pizza Hut? Yup, again that's a thirty minute drive.

Plus I live on a gravel road. Think about that for just a minute. It's two miles down a gravel road. When it rains, it turns into a mud road. In the summer, when it gets dry, the dust is everywhere.

Internet? You have dial-up and satellite. Mobile phone? I have one bar and can send texts in the house but to make a phone call I have to go outside and walk around to find a good enough signal for the other person to hear me.

Then again, I have no neighbours next door. I have no noise from a city. If I want to pee in my backyard I can (and do at night (it's closer to go outside then to the bathroom)). I have frogs, and birds, and deer, and coyotes to listen to at night and admire when I can see them.

So if you can put up with all the inconveniences of living in the middle of nowhere then yes, it's a great place to live. But if having all the joys of modern life close at hand sounds more appealing, then no, you wouldn't like it out here.

whacko.....that sounds almost as remote as where ILY and i live (highlands of jockland)

Well maybe public urination is tolerated in third world countries, but I live in the U.S......oh wait, we are a third world country...yeah, carry on

In the great state of Missouri if you are caught you can be tried as a sex offender and then have to register the rest of your life. And no, sadly, I'm not joking.
