Hey y'all! I've lived in southern Ontario for my entire life, but I'm planning to move up north with my wife in a year or so. We want to have a log house built on a forested 5+ acre lot, probably somewhere in the rough vicinity of Gravenhurst.

I've vacationed up north lots, but of course, vacationing is different from daily life. As for work up there, I'm a computational and structural biologist, and will be doing contract work for coding plus small in vitro experiments. Got a client lined up already.

So I'm curious – as a suburban girl with no experience living rurally in a small town like Gravenhurst, what do I need to know?

~~Also... do country diner regulars get discounts?~~ XD

Friends in Gravenhurst get the occasional bear in their yard, so maybe read up on the wildlife!
