Vermont, Iowa, Minnesota...all the Midwestern rural areas are represented in this lovely photo of YesterYears. Very tranquil...when living was slow.

So true. Sometimes I think I want to go and live in a rural area for while. Away from all the craziness
Understood! Yet craziness follows us no matter where we go as long as we stay tuned in with our smart phones and TV's. I'll bet it would be easier to keep everything off in rural America. I've lived away from city life a number of years now...but I do miss the energy - occasionally.
I totally agree. I was able to do so when we visited RedRiver girge in Kentucky. A week with no cell coverage and no TV in our Cabin. Just pure nature.
Wew...a full week! Reminds me of a similar experience - a week away in a rustic cabin my Dad bought with fishing buddy's in my childhood. No electricity, water from a hand pump - inside the cabin, block ice in a small box frig and NO TV. In the day we swam, fished from a row boat and picked wild raspberries. Mom made bean hole beans (dug a hole in the sand and got stones and sand fired up hot, buried the beans in a crockpot and let it cook 24 hours, stoking the fire till done.) Fire grilled fish- pike and ? sunfish, maybe. Cream and sugar covered raspberries made everyone happy. Looking back now, I think vacations like this and others were the happiest for the family. Yes...just pure nature. Thanks for giving me these moments to revisit my past. Cheers!
