My County Road: Hit the Reset
Growing up in the country outside a small town in Indiana with a population around 1,700 — we moved to a neighborhood in a city with a population of around 20,000. Now we’re back where we were before… and live in a barn.
From here, I can see the house where I grew up. I can also see the one where I raised my son. We were ready for a more relaxed and imperfect way of life, and have found it here.

Barndo Creek is a great place if you’re a dog — not a privacy fence in sight.
