"How small it really is.
When I graduated in 2014, my class was 14 people. And we were one of the largest grades at the school, the grade below only had 6 people, the grade above me only had 4. I originally grew up in a hamlet, population 20 people and then moved to a village where I went to school, roughly 300 people.
We have one bar, one grocery store that closes at 6pm, a carwash, a bank(in the neighboring villager 15 minutes away) post office and school in town. Everyone else is either oilfield workers or farmers.
And it’s f@#king boring, for fun in the summers we used to bike down the highway for hours to no where and then turn around and bike home. "

#1 I'm 29 years old and I've never heard a gunshot in real life. I'm very proud of it. I'm not american, obviously.

Kay,I was raised in the middle of nowhere. So deep in the woods that to this day they still don't have cable.
I think what the post is referring to about gun shots is most likely someone shooting at wild animals encroaching on theirs or their territory. Too close to the house or chicken kind of thing.

I grew up in Pine Log Georgia in the 60s. And I miss it because now I live in the suburbs of Atlanta.

Mira,
No, just stupid and clueless. Whoever wrote that has never been off the the busline.
Rural folk are nothing like that.

RE: the mention of coyotes howling in various pics....
Yeah, but I'll tell ya, nothing, and I mean NOTHING, sends a chill up your spine like the sound of a pack of timber wolves howling. All around you. Within yards. On a pitch black night. Alone. On a path.
OK, finding yourself between a mama bear and her cubs when one of the cubs starts crying is an interesting experience too.
BTW, I'm from northern Minnesota. Estimated wolf population in the lower 48 states is around 6,000. 2,700 of the 6,000 live here.
I don't walk in the woods alone at night; there's always 3 of us. I and my good buddies Smith & Wesson.
