Could you imagine? Instead of going to the lakes to enjoy some truly local fried gator, you'd go to the roadside grill for local venison stew and bison burgers. No need to stock the retention pond - there's plenty of fly-fishing on the creek behind the rec center.

Want some exercise? Take your pick of walking trails - each has its own difficulty level. And when you look outside the picture window in your back yard you don't see a row of electric towers at the far edge of the golf course, you see the rise of mountains instead.
