living in the boonies really sucks. 4 miles out of town, and no vehicle. talk about a bad time.
-
Sometime it's nice though :-)
-
Fortunately, I have the best of both worlds... I can drive in 1 direction and head to the country and small towns, but I live on in a small suburb so can go to the city in the other direction.
-
I live about 6 miles from town. I would not want to live any closer. In fact, I'd love to live farther away.
-
We're out in the boonies too. It has it's pros and cons. It's very beautiful out here, but I'm a city girl at heart. I hate having to drive 30-45 minutes to go to the grocery store, dry cleaners, etc.
-
I doubt I could ever live like that. I need to be in the city. I like the country to a point, but not on a full time basis.
-
I love livin in the boonies
-
I love living in the country. We live about 3 miles from a small town, and about 5 from another small town, so we really aren't in the boonies. I would not like to live in a remote area where the nearest town was 30+ miles away. That's how far the nearest small city is from us now. But I certainly wouldn't want to live any closer to a town or city.

Four miles from town is hardly what I would call the boonies lol! I used to live out in the country and was 23 miles from town. Compared to others who also lived in the country I was "close to town" lol!

I can see where it would be bad without a vehicle but you're very lucky to live during a time when you're not totally isolated. I would think that it probably makes it pretty special when you do get to town ;)
-
Yeah, that's not easy without some kind of transportation. Well, you can enjoy the quietness of living that far from town! :wave:
-
it can be tough but I'd love it I hate having neighbors so close by
-
The not having a vehicle sucks cause it is so inconvenient, but living in the boonies beats living in the city by a long long way. I worked in a huge city for thirty plus years (even though I lived in the county) and now live outside a very tiny town....just love it!
-
Boonies aren't so bad....as long as you do have a car. So sorry to hear of your position! At least you have a home!
-
I've had close neighbors and I don't want them ever again if I can help it. I don't like having to drive 20 miles to get to a Walmart etc. but I have a grocery and bank within 5 miles so that's not so bad,
-
I presently live close to town and there are parts to it I like but soon will live out in the boonies and I am looking forward to that in ways also so I guess there are positives and negatives to both. I can understand the post where the person lives out and doesn't have a vehicle now that is tough. I don't have one either but someone in the family does and they will be in the household I am moving to.

I used to live in the boonies. 97-130 miles to drive too a decent grocery store. Depended on where i went. So once a month a long trip with 2 small children to buy groceries and see the drs. It was an all day event and usually not getting home until 7-9 pm. Was always beat. Not i live in a very small town and still have to drive 80-187 miles for a good dr. and good shopping. The grocery store here is ok except cost a lot more then walmart or evensome of the larger stores. But if i want to go to Sam's club it is 140 miles. So don't get to go much.
-
It doesn't suck that bad, at lease thats what I remember. I use to live in Parris California when I was a child and those were my best memories. We would walk for miles with our dog, ride our bikes over each other. My God those were the days. ;D
-
Four mile is not that bad! Walk, bicycle or get a motorized scooter...it is not the end of the world!
