It’s definitely not in the forest. This is a high desert, a destitute part of the state that seems to be a locale of last resort for some of the poorest folks. It’s bitter cold in winter, remote, and rotten agricultural conditions. There’s no running water or sewage, despite living 500’ apart, which has been an ongoing topic of debate. (In short, the residents can’t afford that infra, but it could become a real health & sanitation problem)

Very much the opposite of what people dream of when they imagine building a lux cabin by a pond, growing their own food, and naming the dog Thoreau.
