Driving to town despite living miles away is quicker than getting downtown when I lived in a major city. Traffic's never a "real" issue. Stores aren't packed to the gills

The negatives is it can be a bit lonely where I am. I go whole days without seeing even a car go by. Maybe it's the SAD hitting me but I've been feeling the lack of life recently.

Life's all around you. When feeling down go sit outside and see all the life around you. It will bring a smile to your face

Idk if you’re able to or have any desire but snowshoeing is a great workout and excuse to get outside on a sunny day!

You in north or central?

This is exactly the reason why I love Maine. I drive 30-45 minutes to the store and maybe have one truck pass me. My husband is from a very small rural town here and I am from nj where even a store that is less than a mile away takes 20 minutes to get to a( without parking) . We have two tiny daughters and are trying to buy a house in said town but it’s been nearly impossible . Rightfully so.

I'm near Bangor actually, so it is fairly populated within about ten-fifteen minutes of me. It's just where I am is 10 minutes back windy, dirt camp roads.

My husband and I want to live somewhere we don't see any traffic for days. That sounds like a huge plus.

May I ask what part of the state you're in? Too many people Mid-Coast!

About thirty minutes outside Bangor. So the area I am in is decently populated, I'm just way back dirt camp roads. About ten to fifteen minutes drive time back here It's just us as full time residents and only one other house even back this way.
