I have a friend who's mom and step dad live in Montana. A few years ago a bunch of us went up there to visit them and do some camping. They live away back on this gravel road where there are some people around, but it is pretty isolated. The guy behind them lives up on this hilltop. He has a generator for his electricity because the city won't run lines up there. He has no real plumbing. He has an outhouse and he has a well that had a hand crank on it. In the winter is snows so much that that he can't drive up his driveway so he has a building at the bottom of it with a snowmobile and he just pulls that out, pulls his truck into the building and drives the snowmobile up to the house during the winter.

It is like he has chosen to live 100 years behind everyone else, but I guess he is happy.
