You're a bad person. My regards to anyone that meets you.

I clicked on this only to confirm that the Ozarks would be well represented. I was not disappointed. Plenty of homes that roads don't go to and the people only go into town once every couple of months for bleach and salt.

Washington county is on there so I expect the Little Rock crowd picked up some us vs them fodder in Arkansas.

Can you imagine baring your arse in an outhouse in -50 in Alaska?

The key is high density blue foam as a seat. The walk to and fro the outhouse is the real bitch.

Hmmmm... where did they gather these facts from? I ask because the parts of Alabama that SHOULD be highlighted are not, while the parts that are highlighted are located in an area that I thought was uninhabited.
Also, has anyone visited the northern section of the Florida panhandle? I mean, it's like a third world country.

Just curious, have either of you lived in a place with a large Native American population? Not talking about visiting a Rez.

Have spent a lot of time around Mobridge/Timber Lake/Eagle Butte SD on huntin trips and it makes Mississippi look like paradise, it's shockingly bad up there
There's 2 reservations we used to hunt on I believe one was called Black River? Not sure, can't remember the other for sure

Yeah, apparently I'm less than two counties away from a giant cesspool. Maybe I'm overly sheltered, but I really can't imagine things being THAT primitive around here.
Did you read the novel Winter's Bone? Fiction, but it seemed to be a ridiculously harsh view of life in the extremely rural Ozarks.

It would be hard to get indoor plumbing in Big Bend National Park.

Never read the book but sounds like I should check it out. Grew up not far north of here. I spent time with people who don't own cars, roads don't go to their houses, and they use the system of creeks and rivers for transportation. I think it's fascinating that people exist in America whose lives are that completely different from what most experience.
Lotta meth in these parts, don't want to be caught on certain rural roads after dark. Had a friend get lost coming back from a fishing trip and guys came out of the wood with shotguns and robbed him.

My mother was a social worker from '73-82and I know she had clients without indoor plumbing, but that was over 30 years ago! I live in a rural area, but I don't know of anyone living without running water. I thought it was bad enough that some families live without a good source of heat.

I had a great uncle die in the mid '90s, he never had indoor plumbing and only got electricity in the late '80s. Lived his life dirt poor, but after he died his farm was sold to a developer for a couple million dollars.

Oh, and Winter's Bone was also an award-winning movie, although the book was better. They filmed most of it locally and a friend's children play minor roles. It's worth checking out.

Just checked out the wiki - will be sure to track this down

I'm seeing lots of Indian reservations and the usual suspects for poverty stats.

I know a guy, retired from a state job, owns 100 acres or so and built a cabin on it, dug a well for it and is off the grid. Simplicity can bring happiness a lot of times when you get away from the rat race. I am somewhat envious when I go there. It's peaceful and nothing replaces how good a feel it is after an honest days work doing the basics in life.
