” I would think that being better prepared is worth more than heading for the hills with no place to really go that was prepared.”

The road we are on has 5+ acre places, and most have some kind of animals or gardens. Down the road are a few clusters of homes, but we’re still semi-rural. A friend of mine and I comment about the “town folk” and their city water and what’s in it, as some of the wishes and sentiments have been more liberal thinking of late. They don’t seem to care about taxes and efficiency, just what they think everyone needs. We are actually in the unincorporated area just outside city limits. I guess it’s time to get to know more of our neighbors down the road a bit better.

I would stay right there and get to know the neighbors!

You know your land, you know your weather, you know your water and septic - I would stick where I had the knowledge upper hand... Besides, you can store more there where you have the resources.

We get a lot of those city transplants here who come to ‘retire’ because it is such a nice area... Then the first thing they try to do is make it like where they came from.
Go figure...
