That's pretty cool, Lookout123. When I visited some of the small towns in South GA where industry had fallen, I saw a lot of families that were unable to move on to other place, etc. Its good to see that it can be done with enough willpower.

Maybe its just some people fear change and movement? I'm not sure why so many would simply elect to suffer. A lot of the farmers I spoke with were too old to pick up another skill or get hired on somewhere else. A lot of them had families to worry about that couldn't be neglected in order to move to another city, etc. I've never considered what I would do in that position but I think being single and not having kids means I could be very flexible: the next day, I could sell all my stuff and find someplace new to go and work.
