You know they are in the middle of nowhere when that's the case. My son from 2 years ago when he was there. Holding the neighbor's groundhog:

Funny, I used to spend weeks to a month down in
very rural Arkansas during the summers growing up, dirt road on many, many acres of land surrounded by literal forests, and the whole nine with a WalMart probably about 45 minute away. The nearest town was 4 or 5 miles away. Much of my grandma's property was surrounded by lumber company lands, and a natural gas pipeline ran through part of it. It had no street/road lights until you reached the rural highway off the dirt road, and was too far out to be connected to the little towns sewer system, so you used a septic system, of course.
It's an interesting way to live, is all I have to say.
