What do you consider "the middle of no where"? (spring break, apartment)

[Nanny Goat]

I lived in a rural town in Florida. It was in the middle of nowhere.

But isn't that farm/ranchland... therefore "just a lightly populated somewhere?"

Here in SC I'd say the middle of nowhere is along US 321 or 601 west of I-95. There are very few towns even to break the rural mentality.

Any area over 100 miles from a large city is the middle of nowhere.

Here is the business district in downtown Anton, Colorado. It is 99 miles from Denver, a big city by any definition. Is this in the middle of nowhere?

Anton is 29 miles from the nearest town that is bigger than Anton.

I don't know if its the "middle of nowhere" or not... that is very much a relative term (compared to Manhattan, yes, compared to Ukkusiksalik National Park not so much) but it is near Joes... if you are familiar with The Boys From Joes
