Went out today to a state park nearby to see the sights and walk around in the countryside. Compared to where we used to live there is so much more rural areas around here. Today there was trees changing colour (something we rarely saw), a river to walk along, people fishing, lots of birds and various wildlife all around. It is something we never really saw where we were given the climate and mass of people where we used to be. Here though it is so common to see animals around since there are so much fewer people here.
It really does feel like somewhere out of the way even with the people around here. Sure it isn't completely isolated but it doesn't take much to get away from other people. In the park we were at we saw maybe 10 other people in the almost 2 hours we were there. Heck one of them was even openly carrying along a hunting gun on his was to the wildlife refuge to hunt some animals or more likely ducks/geese. You would never have seen that in California.
All this and it was a quick 40 minute drive away from the house. A change to get away from people, enjoy being out in nature and get a bit of a walk/hike in. Pretty damn good rural life I would say.
