Collective Favorites

I took a survey with the clan to see what everyone likes best about life at the Angle. These are the unedited answers and your chance to hear from someone besides me.





Pat--The Veteran

1. It's where my family, and consequently, my heart is.



2. Lack of social strata, but lots of social life.



3. Mother Nature is right outside your door.



4. We have enough area and resources to be more self-sufficient than city dwellers.



5. Going to work in a golf cart.

Jenny- The Pro

1. In the off seasons (spring and fall) you know everyone in the Angle. There are no tourists and you can do whatever you want. We always have raging bonfires in our driveway because we can.
2. The small town-ness of it all. Not coming from a small town, I was wary of not having any privacy. I actually don't have much privacy but that's alright with me. Small town life has grown on me. I like sitting at the bar and knowing everyone in there. I like being able to identify people by thier trucks, golf carts, snowcats and other various machinery.
3. The wilderness. I like looking at a map and realizing there are hundreds of miles of woods and lakes and swamps surrounding us. It's a little frightening in a good way.
4. The chance to live exactly the way I want to.





Lisa- The Rookie



1. Simplicity- Living with what we need. We don't have half the things in our house that we moved here with. Downsizing forced us to store what we don't actually use, even half my clothes are in storage.



2. Sheltered- I don't have a clue what is happening in the world unless I get online and read it. We are guarded from the sometimes sad and cruel ways of the world. We don't worry about someone breaking in to our cars at night. If I have a house key, I have no clue where it is.



3. Novelty- There is no other place like this. They can try, but the people here are friendly and welcoming. It's a different world here.



4. Big Rick stories.



5. The fact that living here has made my husband happier than I've ever seen him. He smiles on his way to work becuase he is "home". This helps me through my sad homesick days.

  1. These make me want to live there, but I kinda hate the cold and winter.
