Beautiful place but to crowded for me. I live in the middle of 3.5acres & still think my neighbors are to close.
Lynjo - you would have loved my old cabin in Vermont I lived in back some years ago. Was on 10 acres - but was surrounded on 3 sides by hundreds of acres (maybe even thousands, not sure) of state park. Right at the foot of Mt. Mansfield, on the other side of the mountain from Stowe resort. As remote as it gets - for the eastern US, at least.
but if you want to see the one spot in the US that is the farthest drive to a populated city, I believe that'd be near the CA/OR border. I lived for a couple of years in this tiny little coastal northern CA town called "Trinidad", about 1 hr south of the state line - minimum 6 hours drive to San Fran or Portland. I like to say that Trinidad is where the redwoods meet the cliffs meet the ocean. One of the most beautiful spots I've ever seen. Truly paradise in the summer... but it is about as remote as you'll find.
Oh yeah, real nice shots of those victorians, Vin!
