There's always car rental for occasional trips.

Star, I really admire you. At this point in my life I'm too selfish to give up my home in the country. I love having a garden, hunting mushrooms, seeing deer and turkey and snakes in my backyard, being able to go to sleep at night and wake in the morning with only the sun, moon and stars for light.

I know perfectly well that the driving, driving, driving that attaches to my love of the outdoors, is killing it too. I just haven't found the willingness in myself to give it up. Yet.
