Live in a small town in NC, about fifteen minutes from town. I've never lived more than a mile from home (dad gave me some land beside his to build a house on) and I absolutely love it. We live at the end of a dead end road, surrounded by acre after acre of woods. My parents own twenty acres or so with a huge ass creek flowing through it (technically a few miles short of being classified as a river). I can walk to that in about a minute or so.

For fun I fish a good bit, or canoe. The kids like to get in and splash around. Tons of wildlife around and it's pretty common to hear wild turkeys in the early morning. There's a huge field right by the creek and we camp there through the year. Close enough to get WiFi from my sister's house (my parents have her their house and built another up in the woods) so we'll get out the inflatable screen and projector and watch movies and chill by the fire. Toss the football, play badminton, stuff like that. And fish, of course. Sometimes I'll go down in the evening and catch a couple catfish or yellow perch and have a nice fresh fish dinner.

Our neighbors are pretty cool and don't mind us walking their property. There's a feeder creek that flows behind my house, and there's a ton of huge ass rocks the kids will climb and play on.

We have very little light pollution so I love to star gaze and catch meteor showers. My son enjoys driving my parents four wheeler. I used to have a huge garden and got most of our produce from it spring, summer and fall. Plus gathering paw paws in fall (a very good fruit).

I also game, but love to be outside. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
