#3 This is a little too close to home. Area of contrasts. Atm Machines have been a target. Hook your pickup with a logging chain and drive off. Then a gang of twenty Amish arrested for stealing tractor parts among other things. Then in the recent old days one town of Friendsville near this area was called Dodge City. One metal door is still peppared with buckshot. Storeowner came out into center of street and fired at the varmints driving off. Mostly good people sprinkled with a few unsavory types. Very stable population so you know who doesn't belong and who to keep your eye on.
