OK, I have a 40-acre timber farm, built a cabin on it, and just got stupid carried away with the whole thing.

Make a USFS like park/state park, the cabin is called the ranger station.

I have actual campsites, solar well maint and operations building and my latest project was a direct result of beetle kill ponderosa pines.

Life hands you beetle kills, you make log structures.

I have been told its money well wasted.

I have bear, moose, wolves, grizzly (rare) white tail, mule deer, wild turkey, grouse, bobcats, cougars and loads of coyotes, hear them yelping like crazy at dusk.

Bear, getting into my stuff.
