We live on a dirt road but our hay fields back onto a major highway. The road we're on has no access to the highway, just an overpass.

We always just tell people if you hit pavement and a bridge, you went too far, because our house is literally right before it.

If they come from the other side then they deserve to miss us because there's literally no reason to come from that way, lol.
