this is what i have my folks for. they live 10 minutes from the nearest town out in the country with a few neighbors sprinkled here and there. it's not the scenario above of being completely isolated but it's far enough from the city life to unwind and reset for a weekend. i'm 36 and at night i still marvel at how bright the stars are when there's no city lights drowning them out. and i'm amazed that if you look close enough with the naked eye you can see the blink from low flying satellites in space. the air is fresh and crisp and even if the family and i spend only a day out there we feel refreshed.
i have a buddy living off the grid up in oregon. he owns a small shack with his girlfriend, a kayak and an old car and a shed filled with tools. he fashions furniture for a living and that's about it. he's never been happier.
