In return, all I'd have to do is collect recreational fees and make sure everybody shut off their generators by 10:00 pm. In this dream scenario, I'd be a campgound host for a Forest up in Montana in the summer and hit some place like Saguaro National Monument in Arizona for the winter. I'd get to live in some pretty places and meet people from all over the world. Sounds like a dream retirement to me!

Wow. That sounds great. I'm thinking of volleying for live-in caretaker at the "compound" in Hocking HIlls my brother and wife just bought. It has two decent houses. I could work in one of the area forests and just do upkeep on the place in their absenses. Maybe find time to write. Sigh, I can dream can't I? I'm sick of being one of the rats. I'd be a good recluse.
