Or you 'off-base'?  probably not, though I'm not exactly sure what you mean.  
I have significant areas of business to handle before I can leave the city in 
a proper fashion.  Some involve 'business', others involve dealing with the 
gov't, and others still concern decades of accumulated -- well just say 
accumulation :-); and others are simply personal.

When I leave, I would like to sepnd some time in different areas, where I 
already own land and where I don't.  I need to see if the community is a 
'fit', if I am going to have to deal with communtiy.  If I go 'remote' 
enough, that won't be an issue, my homestead will be my respite from the 
larger world, not a part of the larger society; though I will still interact 
'off' the homesetad.  I do intend 'some' traveling.

You were clear about your intentions as opposed to what you thought about 
mine.  I have to remain solvent to pay the price for my desires of the 
future.  Nothing is given to me, everyhting will be prurchased, so how I 
handler this economic collapse is of the utmost imposratnce to my future.

I'm not sure if I was clear in answering your question, feel free to foolow 
up if you please......................
