I'm glad you still have places you can go...and your memories.
Where we live more and more fence rows are being bulldozed, and more fescue planted. Much land is tied up by leasing deer hunters (although CWD is dampening some of that activity). Still, the population in the two most northerly tier of counties in Missouri has a population lower than it did in 1900. We are part of the flyover lands...thank God(!).
