We still have the colder winters (join a curling club to make the winters go faster if you don&#x27;t like outdoor winter sports) but the outdoors are beautiful and great for activities. La Crosse, WI is only two and half hours from Minneapolis&#x2F;St Paul and two hours from Madison, WI. The area is excellent to raise a family and much less expensive than the larger metro areas. They are slowly starting to roll out fiber too. Although, we&#x27;re not really off the grid.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.centurylink.com&#x2F;fiber&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.centurylink.com&#x2F;fiber&#x2F;</a>
