    …so that he’ll need to be driven by you to be able to hang out with any of his friends? Sorry, I don’t really understand.

      I’m only 3 miles out of town. My boy is 3, the kid across the road is 5. They’re already living their best childhoods like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. They know how to identify and harvest edible mushrooms. They pick blackberries and huckleberries by the bucketfuls in the summer.

      My property is a few acres, has a pond with fish. It backs up to a state forest. All redwoods. A healthy salmon creek runs right by the property. There are fire roads and logging roads webbed all through the forest, so we can hike and mountain bike to our hearts content all from our front door, no driving.

      I’m building zip lines and tree weaves for the kids, I’m turning the off-house 3 car garage into a pub with a bar, taps and pool table. So long story short, all his classmates and their parents drive out here to play, not the other way around. This is the place to be.
