Top 10 most secluded towns in America.
Welcome to the world according to Briggs. Today we are going to look at some secluded towns in the United States. Colorado, Alaska, California, New Mexico, and Maine all have them. Maybe you are looking for a secluded town to travel to or relocate to. This list is for you.
Do you need a local Realtor for the area you want to move to?

His name is Christopher Knight, Michael Finkel wrote a book about him; The Stranger in the Woods, the Extraordinary Story of Last True Hermit. He comes very close to encountering other people because he stole clothes and food from a kids summer camp (I think) several times before he was finally caught. I don't remember what his punishment was, I hope it wasn't too harsh. It is a very touching and page-turning story available on Kindle.

You forgot Haines Alaska, Jim. Not only do you have to drive through Canada but you have to drive through two (2) Canadian provinces, Yukon Territory and British Columbia, to get to Haines. Don't ask me why but freight is dropped off in Haines and then trucked to Anchorage. Yep, been there and done that it it's a pain in the butt. Gotta' get through Canadian customs, entering YT from Anchorage, then leaving B.C, then American customs, load in Haines, leave export decs at American customs, declare at Canadian customs, B.C. and re-enter US north of Beaver Creek, YT. Tiresome.

No, Anchorage is a year round port so the only thing that I can figure is that there is additional Alaska bound freight from Haines. It's part of the Lyndon Transport network. Lyndon runs ships into Anchorage weekly. I was leased to them for several years and it's a seven day a week grind. Must be available until 3:00 PM daily. Turnpike doubles, two 45' trailers in the winter is a PITA.

Neah Bay averages 110 inches / 2.8 meters of rain a year. The Olympic Peninsula is my favorite place to visit, though only in the ‘dry’ season, aka summer! A little south of town is the Hoh River Trail which I love. It starts near the ridiculously gorgeous craggy coast, proceeds through a rare temperate rain forest, which gets upwards of 160 inches of annual rainfall, and gradually gains altitude until you finally arrive at a glacier! All this can be hiked easily in two enjoyable days on the trail.

I drive out west once or twice a year and usually stay in Tucumcari, NM. It is, like you said, stuck in the past. They aren't trying to be charming - It's just that it doesn't rain much so old buildings don't rot so fast and why build a new one when the old one's still OK? They have many motels that haven't changed much in the past 50 years, and they're pretty cheap.

It would be low on the list, but Jackson Wy is surprisingly far from any major city. Idaho Falls is about 2 hours away one direction, Riverton (a total dump) about the same in the other. You have Victor Id about a half an hour drive over an insane mountain pass, but it's way smaller. Or a few truckstop towns about an hour and a half away through Hoback canyon. There's three roads into or out of town that are frequently closed in the winter.

Red River, lived there around 5 years. One thing you likely didn't know. Scientists from Los Alamos where they developed the nuclear bomb would visit on occasion. A good portion of the residents are formerly from Texas/Oklahoma who've set up shop. Off seasons are fantastic because you get a rest from the tourists. You could walk out on Main Street look both directions and not a car in sight. Oh yeah, off season are when the local drama happens. Sometimes can get rather interesting. In addition to living there I spent most summers vacationing there. Would I want to live there or visit there again. Not particularly. Sometime take a look at Newcastle Wyoming.

Wow! I love your other videos, but this one was absolutely fascinating!! I had no idea there were so many U.S. towns in North America that were not actually connected to the rest of its own state (let alone the rest of the contiguous 48 states), where you had to actually travel through Canada first to get back into the rest of the United States. So, I learned a new word - land enclave. Keep up the great work!!

There's also a section of Michigan where the only land route to it is through Ohio. If I remember correctly, Ohio and Michigan actually fought a war over the strip of shoreline that connects that small point to the rest of Michigan, and Michigan lost.

When I was about 8 years old my father and uncle took me to Warroad. Minnesota. The was a four way stop sign and a small restaurant and store on one corner for gasoline. We traveled from Thief River Falls and hunted partridge. The store had a rolled top juke box and the people were real friendly. My Dad came from Red Lake Falls and my grandfather named the county seat "Emardville" which is located in the town of Plummer, Minnesota.
