Much depends on location, location, location...almost as much as time frame. Lots of places in the western U.S. are still untamed and for the most part empty of people. It’s also kind of scary where people live. You’d swear an old run down shack was empty, but nope. People live in all sorts of places and under all kinds of conditions. Being a bit of a loner it’s much more comfortable for me to live with my cat, Storm, but it ain’t healthy...mentally nor physically. We need interaction, conversation and friendship with folks. I had thought recently of moving in with my sister and her family...they live on a mountain that is a bit off the beaten path, but within view of a medium sized town and city. I may still move nearby. We all need kin and friends, but as we age close friends and family fade away. I remember my father in-law saying he felt like he’d lived too long, and I am just beginning to understand what he meant. There is still one old friend left, but he is 800 miles away. What’s interesting is my favorite place to live is northern North Dakota, but friends and family there have all died. There is family in California and as far East as Maryland, but the west has a hold on me that I can’t shake. My cat, Storm, is so used to travel that friends and family can’t get over how calm she is in the car...she hates motorcycles or we’d really be having some adventures. Oh boy...she is bugging me to come to bed...later folks. Storm warning.
