"Where I live we have plenty of people nearby but the social interaction is light, you can go a week or more without seeing your neighbors.  They are there if you need help but otherwise you live by yourself." He comes up on an intersection that is laid out in a very unique fashion.  He comes around a curve in the road, one comes up at a curve to meet the center of the curve, the road from the other side goes down and to the right but the main road continues around then goes down hill.  He follows the downhill section and passes a dollar general, a convenience store, a small 2 pump gas station and an ice cream place.  Behind the ice cream place would be a far down river that Ele would not see from her side.  The little town feeling quite quaint and looking pretty unique.  He quickly passes through, coming up to a bridge that crosses an 8th mile wide river that sits the same distance below the bridge itself.  

He crosses the bridge bouncing from the waviness in the concrete on it.  As he hits the regular road surface again it smooths out.  They drive through woods once again for a distance before coming up to another bridge that opens up to a frozen lake on one side, the other side being unfrozen with ducks and geese hanging out in it still. "For some reason the side of the lake you are on has a hard time freezing.  These ducks and geese stick around pretty much all year because they have the water." Her side having a marina on it though everything had been put up for the winter.  He continues driving across the bridge coming up to a sweeping curve once again.  He follows it uphill and turns left onto a couple of s curves down the back road.  They come back up to the lake with a pond on the opposite side of the road from it and a bridge stretching between them.
