Quoted:

I went to the big city today to order a truck load of limestone for the drive up here at the cabin.   They don't take any kind of plastic, not even debit cards.

Good thing I always bring a few hundred bucks walking around money with me when I come down here. I don't carry a check book.   I don't even know where the closest branches of the banks I normally use are.

Seems to be a common theme out here in the sticks. Still a cash based economy.
