We're about 1.5 hours south of the WI state line in Whiteside Co, IL
(and we have a Homesteading Weekend every year. For 2011, it will be the weekend of Father's Day)

I have been following this thread, and was kinda wondering what the definition of "Homesteading" was being used.
So if " mindset and willingness to try and be more self sufficient", I guess I have been at unban homesteading in Kenosha county for many years.
Also have been building and working on "The Place" land and cabin in Crawford county, since 1989. Love the hill country.......
I have met a couple of HT'ers, and it does seem the "mindset" is what bring us togeather
