Over Thanksgiving weekend, I spent some time in Joshua Tree, CA, with friends who've built an eco-friendly house there. These friends love their peaceful home and amazing view (which goes on for miles with nary a house in site), but they also miss the comforts of city life. While I sometimes daydream about living in a place as remote as my friends' home, I doubt that I would be able to hack the extremely rural reality of this life for very long. Do you ever long for a home at the edge of the civilized world, or are you a city gal at heart?

absolutely!! (the only thing I might miss are gourmet supermarkets).
I want to live in the desert with enormous velvet black skies at night. You can't see stars like those anywhere near a city.
of course, going sailing accomplishes the same thing on a less permanent basis, but sailboats get a little stuffy after a while.
