Life in the middle of nowhere

Well we are trying to get settled into living in the "middle of nowhere." It's hard when you once thought that Mariposa was rural. Life here in Northern CA is testing our resourcefulness & asking us if we can really fit in a movie, shoping at Costco, grocery shopping & dinner into a "quick drive" to the nearest town (an hour & a half to 2 hrs away depending on what roads are closed because of the fires). Some people have asked for photos of the house/family...so here they are:


This is our house in the trees. It's probably the closest thing we've had to the dense woods of the NW. Although we don't have any undergrowth we do have over 6 varieties of trees on the property (that I've counted so far), the smoky outdoors have made it difficult to explore long. We are living in a 3 bedroom 2 bath doublewide moblie home on 6 acres. The house is only 5 yrs old & is very nice inside (although the former tenents smoked...so you can't get rid of that :-(
