Here's a chance for me to tell one of my favorite stories of "West River Desolation". My Mother, who is 86, was born and raised in a sod house in Perkins County, SD. The family dried / starved out in 1936, and moved to Minnesota. There was a load of household goods (including my Grandfather's rifle) that was left behind in the sod house. The next time anyone had a chance to revisit the homestead was in 1957, when my parents and myself along with my Grandfather took a trip to revisit my "roots". After 21 years, the sod house had fallen in...but sticking out the pile of dirt...yep, you guessed it...was my Grandfather's Winchester! The climate was dry enough that the gun wasn't in that bad of shape, and I cleaned it up and used it. Now, that's desolation....when you can come back for your gun after 21 years and still find it!
