Where Did All the Homesteaders Go?

Good morning,

February, already. That means there are only 6 weeks to go until spring.

That is good news for all of us that want to get outdoors and plant our gardens and of course,

get some natural vitamin D.

Where we live right now there are only 6 families homesteading in thousands of acres of land.

Way back when there were between 60 - 70 homesteading families and individuals living in this area.

Where did everyone go?

I suppose some people left for town to school their children and perhaps the other folks just up and left for greener pastures or sold out to some of the big ranches and sought an easier lifestyle.

I've never seen so many old abandoned homesteads.

For the 6 families that do live here full time, none of us are complaining about all the room we have to roam about on.

Happy Trails to all,
