Yeah, Jim, it's nice to have room. Not only do I have 90 acres but the surrounding properties are appropriate. I'm the last house on a dead end road so we don't get any traffic. I have a neighbor across the street (west) but they are an older, mostly retired couple. They are the only house you can actually see from anywhere on our property. My northern neighbors are 480 acres that sometimes have a few cows and nothing else. No house. My eastern side is an empty 50 acres that has been for sale for at least a year and a half. The man just wants way too much money for it. My southern neighbors are old time farmers. They are way up over the hill and part way back down it. I can sometimes see a few of his cows and that's it.
It was Father's Day yesterday so I loaded up three 20 round mags of Malaysian 7.62 surplus and took the CETME out to the pond. That ammo was all gone less than ten minutes later but it sure was fun. Good thing I buy it in case lots.
As far as wood and trees, we've got lots and lots. The northern half is heavily timbered and you could spend weeks out there hitting things with big knives and nobody would be able to tell the difference.
You can live where ever you want. You just have to decide what you want and then work toward it. We started out in the slums in rental property but everytime we moved it was to someplace nicer and farther out of town. The last place was Collinsville and 5 acres. I'm not planning to move again unless I come into a million or two somehow!
