It can be very isolating. It's about 15 minutes to a very small village where we can collect our mail and get a few basic necessities but 1/2 hr to the closest grocery store and gas. You do get used to the trip if you go out on the week days - 1 hr to the closest large town where almost everything is available, but last weekend we spent 2-1/2 hrs to make the same trip. Summer vacationers and winter skiers make the traffic truly evil!
On the other hand if you look there are things to do locally. My husband ran for and won a place as a local Fire Commissioner and our neighbors volunteer at the food bank, which is held each week in the parking lot at the local church.... And there's always the internet!
