Good luck finding our place.

Definitely an advantage there. Not sure if it’s worth your winters for me, but love all the other aspects of your place.

What winter? We're down to only a couple feet of snow now. Of course the road is a combination of mud, rock, ice and wash outs right now.

Give me an update in two months or so. I expect I could survive about 5 months of the year there as I’m a southerner at heart.

As beautiful as that part of the country is in the summer, I don't think I could survive the winter. But you definitely have the "social isolation" part down to avoid the pandemic.
Don't worry Arctic, most of the people who would even try to come to your place would not have the right vehicle, enough gas, a good enough orientation and even the guts to show up in the place where dead people get eaten over night by the creatures of the night...Gary

I have one pit and three chiuahuas. The chis bark at the slightest noise. Good alarms.
Sounds like you are well off the beaten path. We are in a small town, but would very much like second home many miles away from others for situations like this. Up until this I was against spending the money for it, but changing my mind pretty rapidly now. Do you really like your area? Are you far apart from others? Don’t want to be nosy, so don’t answer if you don’t want to.

By lower 48 standards we're well off the beaten path. We're about 20 miles from town (population 500. County pop 2800) and 4 miles from the nearest neighbor. And about 4 miles from power too. We're 100% off grid on solar with diesel back-up.
I love this area. Our house sits in the middle of thousands of acres of timber and mountain meadows at 5000 foot elevation. And surrounded 100% by over a million acres of national forest land. We'll never have close neighbors. My driveway is almost 2 miles long. I have 3 locked gates on this road, 2 have electric openers powered by solar. Normally I leave 2 of the gates open in winter but last week the cattle decided to go on a walk-about. I trailed them in the snow for 4 miles before they decided to come back home. One of the calves was only 3 days old.
There's only one road in this area and it just goes up in to more wilderness and range land.
If you get a chance to get a place out of town go for it. There are certainly hardships and challenges where we live, mostly weather related, but the trade off is well worth it.
