living in the boonies

[coreyw87]

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.

       Four mile is not that bad! Walk, bicycle or get a motorized scooter...it is not the end of the world!
