And so have other folks too! Turns out that there are lots of people who gave up their jobs and their busy "successful" life in the big city to move out to Southwest TX (and other places) and built their own super simple home-on-the-range. One thing I notice about these folks is that many of them are single. You'd think that if you're gonna move out into the middle of nowhere (and I mean the MIDDLE of nowhere), you'd need at least two people to make a go of it. Not so. These single folks have friends, they have community and they live on vast tracts of land with only a few longhorns in sight.
And none of them seem lonely. In fact they seem entirely satisfied with their ultra-simple lives and their acres of solitude.
Of course, this lifestyle is a lifestyle and is obviously not for everyone.

I just always thought I'd be creating a place like this in the redwood trees along the Pacific coast. But land out west is pretty expensive.
