Bad roads? We live in rural Queensland, Australia and we love it. However, the road crews don't do a very good job but we are guessing that the money provided isn't enough to create something better and more durable. To make it worse, where there is bitumen it is often so narrow that it isn't wide enough for two vehicles coming from opposite directions to pass each other. Out here each person learns to drive with two wheels on the bitumen and two off it!
I love Arkansas. Since I am from South Louisiana I am very comfortable with poorly maintained roads. Our house when I was a kid was on a major road to the coast of Louisiana. Admittedly we were only 7 miles from Vermilion Bay by air. 20+ miles and a ferry ride by car.
My wife was so in love with the area around Onia that she bought 80 acres of unimproved land. We spent one anniversary night over a campfire there and she had had enough. Somehow my city girl just could not tolerate the bats that swarmed the bugs over the fire. She got into our F-150 and hid from the beasts. I thought the coyote songs were beautiful and we had lots of ammo just in case.
Arkansas is such a beautiful place if you avoid the cities.
A few years ago we sold that land and made a few dollars profit. I still miss the woods up there. I am a city bound country boy.
