a friend, Bo, worked for MoDot/IllDot for years (Dept of Transportation) and it was wild the shortcuts and small roads we went through on treks to backpacking locations, SE Missouri, SW Illinois.
I get the last house scenario. Like the last shreds of civilization before looking out to vast expansion. Pevely had that. Looking over 55 and fields forever. It was previous a KOA location.
Farmington is less "last house" expansiveness, and more hub/holdout in a dense, vast forrested area. Hundreds of miles of protected forest surround Farmington.
I envy those in the trapper cabins of N Alaska. The remote, isolation of it all. Albeit. With skills and knowledge to get theres and get FROM there, in time. But unparalleled solitude - not a thing to take for granted.
Bo knows shortcuts?
