Not yet but about once a month, I go to do chores and fix-it projects for my aging mom way out in the sticks and stay a few days.

If I ever make the move things I'll miss will be:
• Faster delivery from online markets
• High speed internet
• My close friends
• Restaurant and shopping choices
• Quick access to specialized medical facilities

What I will enjoy is:
• Hearing birds sing in the morning
• Seeing all sorts of wildlife
• Not dealing with Baton Rouge traffic
• Not seeing beggars at every intersection
• Not wondering if I'm going to be shot
• A much slower lifestyle
• Less racial tension
• Seeing stars at night

There might be more but that's what comes to mind right now.

Those are valid concerns for a lotnof people. The internet situation has improved a ton with Star Link.

But absolutely no food delivery. If you need something for supper, you better get it while you or your wife is in town. Otherwise it's a 30 min trip one way just to get a stick of butter.

Your wife better be able to cook and enjoy doing it. A real sit down restaurant where you can order a glass of wine is damn near 1 hour away.

But if you enjoy some solitude and enjoy owning acreage, it's worth it. Especially if you have a nice fishing and recreation lake close by.
