[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 664987, member: 7645"] Five miles sounds about right to me. The kids really can't walk much too much more than 5 miles one way every day (about an hour and a half stroll) [url=http://walking.about.com/cs/fitnesswalking/l/blmilespace.htm]http://walking.about.com/cs/fitnesswalk ... espace.htm[/url] so in a vast rural pre-car landscape you would need a town or hamlet (school, church, mill, smith, and general store) every ten miles..........or somebody is going to have to hitch a team up everyday to take the kids to school and repeat that to bring them back. My county had more elementary schools then than we do now although our population is much higher. [/QUOTE]
