re: Live in the city and drive to the sticks or live in the sticks and drive to work?

I went from 4 to 1 acre and both are in the sticks. I have small children and there's nothing like watching your kids run wild outside in the country for me. Work is 1 Hr south and the camp is 40 min north. If I had my way we'd live in the middle of the woods and I'd drive 2 hrs to work no problems. Unfortunately, my wife does not feel the same...
