I get a little taste of the county just about every other weekend when I stay with my aunt and uncle in the farm house that my grandma grew up in. Concord, VA; love that place more than anything. If you look close, you can see cows in the background of my avatar. Moving there after high school.

 

Country boy and wouldnt change it for the world. Never had a car, dont wear shorts, been wearin the same hat for the last 50000 years (Wyoming Cowboys and proud of it) and my town only has one stop light and its a red blinking 4 way stop. Gotta love Big Wonderful Wyoming

 

i live like i live in the country,, but actually in the 5th largest city in the states.. but as soon as i can,, im moving out to the middle of nowhere.. maybe in nebraska.
anyway, i wear boots and and a seed cap, or john deere, or CAT, and a husker hat on gamedays. got a couple of john deere crawlers, a backhoe, 4 ford pickups... a great big base CB. you know just the average stuff. kids at school ask me if i live on a farm,, i just say yes cuz they wouldnt belive me if i said no. its more like a salvage yard than a farm though..

 

Wow almost four years after I started it, this thread is still going. Thats pretty cool. I posted because I love to drive on the open road. I love country backroads where you can take the occasional turn down a dirt trail or through a field. It sucks because where I live is so over run with traffic and I have to drive for a few hours just to get away to some "open road" and even then its still over populated.

 

Yep, I live on one of those back roads. 12 miles to the nearest grocery store, 25 to the nearest Walmart, and love it.

 

I live out in the country in the boondocks and on a farm plus in a small town. My daily schedule is feed the horses, pig, goat,and who knows how many dogs. Then I have to get to making sure everybody didn't take anything off our trucks ya alot of people steal out here even though we have a fence. Then I will either start working on the house or one of the trucks. Next around noon I am helping my dad out by driving him around. Sometimes my schedule includes a side job too which is hauling metal usually. The last thing I do at night is school work since I am online schoooling. By the way I am 13.5 miles out of town and 5 miles of messed up backroads but we are trying to get our tractor going to work on it.

I lived till i was 18 in franklin county florida. I remeber when they got thier first traffic light for entire county and it was only a yellow caution light. But everyone there was trashy. Now I live in jackson county Fl near the bama and georgia lines and its a lot better. University of florida does beef research there. Its the largest yet least poplulated county in florida. We have 3 peanut mills within 7 minutes of my house.Almost everyone that is native farms and i have done a little myself. I live in malone which is yer typical one stoplight town. one gas station, an iga, and a bank. lots of little towns like that. And people are so much friendlier. Its amazing, im in Memphis till June and we have 3 walmarts within 10 minutes of us, at home we only have one in the whole county. Lotta fishin and dirt road ridin, and drinkin at bonfires.

 

I live outside the city limits on just over 4 acres.
I hated being downtown with every neighbor staring in my windows.
Moved out here 9 years ago and LOVE IT !

 

Back when I lived in PA, nearest neighbors were over a mile away, dirt roads for about 10 miles then another 10 miles on paved roads. Hunting started right behind the barn and all the way around 200 acres. No cops, just game warden who stopped by on occasion to check the access gates to the park shelters.

Loved hunting, fishing, riding quads, shooting guns, parties and explosives, and never had to drive anywhere to do either of them.
No cable internet/t.v., no satellite, just rabbit ears and dialup.
I would say it was a pretty good taste of country living.
