It's possible to "keep going" quite far in Buddhism without the formal training provided by a teacher. Understand that there are many paths in Buddhism, and that even if there were a sangha in your area, their path may not be the one that is suited to you.
I'd recommend you keep reading and learning. If you have questions, you can certainly bring them here. There are apparently a few of us Buddhists on the TFP. Eventually, as I discussed in an earlier post, the things you're learning will force you to start looking in, and that's when the real progress begins. No temple is needed for that.
