I like s/whatever because I never know where to post : )

No prob, I like it for the same reason. :) We do have /s/maps though, just for future reference. :)

Regarding the map, I find it interesting how truly stark that vertical line in the midwest is. If you go west Kanas, west OK, etc, there is no one there! It's almost like there's some line of longitude everyone just stopped at, ha

I hadn't noticed that midwest line and now it's glaring. Remarkable. No one there but the military and/or BLM in much of it.

I was just wondering about whether or not that is where the US still owns all the BLM land.

Shush. No one knows about BLM.

Don’t wonder. The BLM owns everything.

I’m not kidding. Aside from a few murders, they are super nice people. I’ve spoken with them personally many times.

Here in Cali there is tons of BLM land. They are super hands off especially compared to National Park Rangers who have a desire to be police.

They sure like to get in on the Burning Man action - as do all po po out there. Black Rock Desert borders on 3 counties, plus the State cops, BLM, DEA, and other feds. The desert is a harsh and dangerous environment.

It’s almost like there’s an invisible mountain standing in their way. Oh wait, it’s not invisible.

Except that the stark "line" is far ahead of the mountains, from Minneapolis to Laredo - leaving the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, half of Oklahoma and half of Texas nearly empty. In the midst of that stark area you see Denver and Colorado Springs, where the mountains start and a little further Salt Lake City. Having driven through there many times, I can assure you it's all very inhabitable.

Topographical

Even the American Expansion doesn't explain it. I'd say they just followed the Mississippi River and some tributaries a bit and just gave up mass settlements, in a line by luck of the continental drift and ice age melt-off.

We can debate this. You have a very fair point.

We have both operated motor coaches across this fine land that is America.

I will look again and re-examine my assertion.

Nomadic pipe dream: Me, a good woman, a portable life, secure storage, stable funding, some gear and a satellite connection, a reliable RV, all the time in the world, and the open road...

You’ll need solar.
