>>2775739Eastern wild places are surprisingly much less crowded than the Western ones despite the higher population density, because Westerners are all outdoors maniacs who go /out/ every chance they get, while rural Easterners are all lazy lardasses whose only outdoor priority is huffing & puffing half a mile to a deer stand for a few days in the fall. Downside is, it can be really tough to find a place along the forest backroads to camp when nobody does it! Locals can get awfully curious about your presence in their backyard as well, while out West nobody will even give you a second glance.
