America's Least Populated Counties
Isolated, secluded, steeped in
history and rich in tradition -- these counties are the least
populated and most isolated places in America, according to the
latest United
States Census Bureau estimates. The people who live in
these isolated places enjoy a lifestyle and individual freedoms
that many thought had long since vanished in the United States.
Untroubled by traffic jams or polluted air,
their daily commute may be no more than a brisk walk across across the
street. Life is simpler here but astonishingly interesting. For the people
who live here, wildlife doesn't mean a night on the town. For these
residents, wildlife is what they see every day - - sometimes even downtown.
It turns out these folks aren't lonely at
all, but extremely friendly and fiercely independent. Their stories may be
some of America's best kept and most fascinating secrets.
