    QUESTION!!!!!!!!!Just found your channel and I like it!! Question. What are the chances or a big developer coming in and ruining this beauty or even building near by which will also ruin this. We are two years from this dream. I am so concerned about it being ruined. Yes QUIET!

    • @Livingit1
      @Livingit1  Рік тому +2

      Most of the land is BLM land. For a business to come here, they would need more than a seasonal work force. I don't see any big developments coming any time soon. Yhe town has been military training area in past even a Japanese internment camp in Poston not far away. It's very remote for being on I10. The only thing I've see that kinda ruined a small portion of the hundreds of thousands of acres here in last 4 years, was transmission lines east of town.
      This is really an incredible place with like minded people that enjoy the beautiful Sonoran Desert! Hope you get to experience it in person! Thanks for watching my videos!

      @Livingit1  2 місяці тому

      The community experience can happen in different ways. There are alot of events to meet people like different types of RV owners groups, van builds, music events, metal detecting clubs, utv clubs and campfires are all great ways.
      The biggest thing I can tell you is that you have to put yourself out there. Walk up to neighbors or fellow campers and introduce yourself. I met many of my nomadic friends this way and also locals I see every year. Hope this helps.
