I live in a small city of approx 100,000 people. We live on an 1 acre lot with waterfront access and are withing bicycling distance of our city core. I can boat, atv, play hockey, fish, and snowmobile from my doorstep. There are at least a dozen pubs nearby with 3 accessible by boat. We have water on 3 sides. We used to travel fairly extensively up until a couple years ago but lately we have decided to stay closer to home.
