Boonies are very good, indeed! I think I'm probably fairly safe from
McMansions in this location, at least I hope so! Yuppies and their
McMansions and their accompanying taxes drove me out of my last
homestead in Illinois! I'm right smack in the center of Illinois, so
quite a ways from the Mississippi. I'm a good 3 hour drive from St.
Louis, but yes, northeast of there. I'm in a very poor county, and
sought it out for purposes of Yuppie avoidance, and because of its
sheer beauty and remoteness.
