Why are you living there?

Probably because I'm 14 years into a 30 year project... restoring a longleaf pine ecosystem.

A second reason is the night sky. There is no way to properly describe walking outside on a dark cold night, and looking up. Thousands of stars. The occasional bit of debris reentering in a blaze of fire across the sky. Staring at aircraft lights, wondering if they are passenger, military or something else. The dark night sky isn't really dark at all, it is full of wonder.

Sounds like it's worth it.
