can you give me the link where you got that photo please?

I’m looking to buy land and then put a small cabin there where I can see the stars at night.

Here we can see stars quite good but I’m looking to get away from even a road for at least 10 miles

Florida? Forgotten Coast or dead-center Everglades. Everywhere else has light pollution.

just do a search for - map light pollution USA - and you'll get several versions - and great about what you're looking for. Like Will Rogers said: “Buy land. They ain't making any more.”

It has always amazed me why people who have money to invest put it the hands of others - like into the stock market, IRA’s etc...

Like the Indians understood - land doesn't disappear. Had I the money, I would own a lot more than my little 1 1/2 acre...but I am thankful for the privacy and peace even this gives me. (and it is surrounded by many acres of additional forest - canopied by stars...)

and grow y our vegetables, get laying hens for eggs, partridge and rabbits for meat, make connections with local farmers, keep a low profile - ;o)...)

“And the meek shall inherit...”
