Heck your less than 10mi from Greenfield and Turners falls. My idea of remote would have you near<br />the Dubuque state forest about 8miles as the crow files west of there. <br /><br />Your not in the boonies as the nearest highway is 91 and less than 10mi.<br /><br />I was a good ride to the Ho Chi Min trail (AKA RT209 to non truckers) as it was dangerous with a 30-55 mph speed and dropoffs. <br /><br />Join me on One in the heart.. and we can talk about the upside of roral areas too.<br /><br /><br />Eck!Eck!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13890237094647111653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-70971215382633678172010-10-10T14:52:31.226-04:002010-10-10T14:52:31.226-04:00Eck!

You have something to compare to good or bad.<br /><br />Its important when you've helped to fight a local wild fire. You did because all them trees between your place, your neighbors and the fire were at risk. Locals (I mean those that live there most of their lives) used to have water tanks for firefighting and watering livestock or fields in drought because it was the right thing to do.<br /><br />Its fine area out there, been there many times. But compared to he parts of PA I knew that was suburban. Back in PA it was no joke to say if I wanted a stick of gum, or a beer it was more than 5 miles one way, the nearest town with a supermarket was 11 miles. That's rural. <br /><br /><br />Eck!Eck!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13890237094647111653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-57235203942913199852010-10-10T12:27:02.240-04:002010-10-10T12:27:02.240-04:00My point.

I have found cases where the local Police chief put additional burdens like gun club memberships and the like. We are a may issue state and those are the varied rules. Also I'm in the eastern part of the state (outside 128) and Mis Fit is quite aware of the area. Bottom line is that further west is likely less nutty.<br /><br />No matter that fire and safety becomes a personal responsibility as 10minutes likely more separates one from assistance so in many things what you do for yourself is critical to the general outcome.<br /><br /><br />Eck!Eck!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13890237094647111653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-66621884692319562342010-10-10T10:10:36.514-04:002010-10-10T10:10:36.514-04:00E-B Misfit,

Get a security check and you can have a License to carry. Nothing else needed. Then go buy your .22. The only part I haven't done is buy the gun.
