Sounds like a wonderful place. I would love to live in isolation such as
that, but I would like to be along the coast, perhaps on a small island.
BTW: I watched the movie "Higher Ground" today, which stars John Denver
as a bush pilot in Alaska. Nice story and photography, plus four airplanes
(Citabria, Cessna 172, Dehaviland Beaver and Otter) on pontoons.
