Get away from it all

Haven't you ever had time you wanted to obtain away from it all? In March/April 1978, motherearthnews published a story about a couple who bought McLeod's Island � a 90-acre island off the coast of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

They have some animals, invest incredibly little on groceries, and are fairly well sustained by the island itself. Though it does present them with some challenges:

"The sea, you know, just isn't known as "restless" for absolutely nothing. A glass-smooth bay (as we've learned so nicely!) can churn-sometimes seemingly in seconds-into a windswept chaos of currents and combers. We've also noticed that very same bay (the one in which our island is located) thaw and then completely refreeze in just hours on a single December day.

Winters up here can be specially variable. Continual spring-like thaws all through 1976's cold season, as an example, kept our bay filled with slushy ice that was too thick to push a boat through ... but too dangerous for even a fox to walk on. We had been marooned for three full months, from the first of January until the end of March. Last winter's record cold snap, on the other hand, filled the bay so solidly with pack ice that we could hike back and forth to the mainland for our mail and toboggan loads of supplies any time we wanted."

For some of us, we uncover the internet provides us the freedom to have the ability to work and live almost any place we desire to. These persons did not have that luxury. I use the past tense as I cannot uncover any existing details about them. Who knows? Possibly the tide swept the out to sea.

Life is full of sacrifices. Some are just extra dear than others. Still, I don't feel acquiring an island is in my future.
