My second thread on the "Rural and Small Town Living" category! This topic's question is this: How many rural areas have YOU lived in your life? Be honest!
I myself have lived in only three rural areas thus far, and they are:
Ahsahka, ID
Sky Valley, CA
Thousand Palms, CA
How 'bout you? Let's hear it!
Any answers are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
All of these are closest towns, but have lived miles from each. Of course spent childhood and teen years in Los Angeles.
Gillette, Wyo.........20 miles out
Colorado Springs, CO... 30 miles out
Farmington, NM........15 miles out
Duncan, OK.........15 miles out
Ava, MO..........10 miles out
Clinton, MO.........5 miles out
Location: Finally the house is done and we are in Port St. Lucie!

1- Entrican, Michigan
One church, no stores, no gas stations. There was a store front that had different things like antiques at one time. There might have been a post office?
5 miles from Stanton, MI for food stores.
Went to school in Lakeview, MI 9 miles away.
Never did rural again after I grew up and moved away. Suburb yes, city yes, rural never again for me.

OHHH You lived in Ahsahka, ID! We were looking at property up there and I was so terrified of the winding steep narrow road I told hubby no way. But it sure was Beautiful And once up top it is so flat I was surprised. I remember stopping in an old store up there. I was glad he also vetoed the house we went to see. Cause he ruled the roost.
Small towns I have loved in: Clayton , Idaho was population 39 when we lived there. Challis, Idaho was 1200 so maybe not quite fitting your small town but it sure was rural. Cambridge, Idaho was pop. 360 when we lived there. No idea what it is now. Now living in Midvale, Idaho pop about 160. I think census said 170 in 2010 but I know more the 10 died and a few just left and a few moved in. SO 160 is a guess.
Hoping they haul me out of my house feet first. I have no plans for leaving.
Spent the majority of my life (so far) in towns of 10,000 or less. Don't see any reason to move to bigger places.
