Watched The Boonies the other night on NatGeo and was pleasantly surprised, though I probably shouldn't have been being that it is a National Geographic production. The photography and the scenery were simply beautiful.
The series follows the lives of four people who live off the grid and away from society in general. Bear Claw lives the life of a mountain nomad in northern Idaho. Dan Burton and his family live on an island in the middle of Lake Michigan. Doc and Jeannie Leverett live in north-eastern Washington State above the ground in a tree house. And Joe Ray lives in the underground caves in northern Arkansas. Each of the parties, unique in their own way, weave a story of true American spirit and survival against the odds.
The first episode established the living arrangements and a brief back story for each of the series' regulars, setting the stage for the development of an interesting and exciting storyline.
Looking forward to following the series to see how successful these folks are living off, under, above and beyond the grid!
