My wife watched a video on Youtube about RV lots for sale over by Superior. I looked at them but its quite a ways from where we are at right now but the lots looked interesting. Ive been looking at the area you are in on Google maps.

That is what this area has become. Lots of RV parks that you buy and do whatever you want. To maximize profit most have a dozen sites per acre. My backyard campground only has two.

Paying hunt on private land has become big business throughout the West. My daughter's in laws run a farm in South Dakota and they host pheasant hunters during pheasant season in their home. The pheasant hunting business has been much more profitable and dependable than the farming. Same for a lot of ranches throughout the West.

we are currently camped in a very good pheasant hunting area in South Dakota .... a lack of heavy snow this past winter has the locals in high hope of a good season .... reservations made by folks from out of state are said to be strong

When I was taking care of the place in Ephrata after my father-in-law passed I became one of the locals and had local rights. The true son was/is a rich doctor from Seattle and they charged him. He hated it so they would charge him more.

Having coffee every morning with a dozen neighbors can be very educational. Men would sit at tables on one side of the room and the women would sit on the opposite. It was usually a group conversation with people talking loudly between tables with quieter smaller conversations going on also. In a two-hour span maybe 40 people would come through with some only to say hi while their coffee flasks were being filled.

We sat near the coffee machine and waited on ourselves except for kitchen orders. The coffee was free if we tipped the waitress who sometimes would join us for a minute here and there.

I miss that.
