Not sure that is a good idea for a disabled person. I wished I live in a more commercial area, so I could walk or wheel to the store, work, etc.

The property next to me is for sale. 20ac, woods, a small spring, a barn, dbl trailer. It's 300 yards from me and located out in the middle of nowhere. $105,000.
Out in the middle of nowhere also has no broadband, no cable , no wireless and no pizza delivery. :huh2:

It's a very worthwhile goal if that's what you're really looking for. Keep sniffing around Raggs, the world is still a really big place -- in spite of what many say.

Grew up in that environment. The trouble is everybody knows what you are doing. If there is a strange car parked in your driveway, you can best bet somebody is going to ask who was visiting the next time you go to the post office. A while ago, I mailed my sister a post card. When I was up visiting, I stopped to get my parent's mail and the post master (only town postal employee) said what a nice post card it was. He had read it before putting in her postal box.

You can get "lost" much easier in a bigger city.

Yeah, it was quite a shift going from Washington DC to visit the grandparents. We went out to the town drugstore at one point and the lady behind the counter said "oh you must be the folks visitin' Art and Mamie right?" They already knew our names and so forth.

it was pretty funny.

The town I grew up in was at least a -little- larger than that.

Maybe take a vacation to some remote place for a week and see how you feel. You may change your mind.

You're not alone in craving solitude raggie.

I've always been a bit of a loner myself, despite being married for so long. When we go to Washington State to buy a new house next month, I'm hoping to find a couple of acres on the extreme fringes of the area we're looking at.

Close enough for modern conveniences, yet far enough away that being by myself (ourselves even) is possible...dare I say easy.


For me the incessant drone of humanity can sometimes become quite tiresome, and it becomes harder and harder over time to find the quiet peace I crave. I think that's why I like places like CPF...I can come and go as I please....quietly.


Shhhhh.....:eek:oo:
