Feds evicting mobile homes at North Dakota lake

Bureau of Reclamation move would wipe out $6 million in investments, ruin the local economy and destabilize every federal leasehold.

For over half a century, picturesque Lake Tschida in southwestern North Dakota has been the destination of choice for residents of nearby communities to spend warm summer weekends with friends and family. In this semiarid part of the Northern Plains, where recreational lakes are few and far between, the reservoir has attracted cabins and mobile homes, whose owners lease lakefront parcels of land from the Bureau of Reclamation. ~snip~

“Businesses such as the hospital, lumber yard, gas station, grocery store, hardware store, and bars, even our animal veterinarian, rely on Lake Tschida residents to keep their business up and running financially.”

Yet of 114 mobile homes on the lake, only 16 had water in them, and no homes became detached from their moorings.

Umm, wouldn't they be floating homes then?

Turner also thinks that two million human population is plenty to keep him in the style he is accustomed to, The rest needs to die.

the bureau, without consulting leaseholders, abruptly directed that all mobile homes be removed from the lake no later than 2010.


Keep in mind that voting makes very little difference now.............

I am guessing the last time I was at Lake Tschida (Heart Butte) was in the early 1980’s. Grew up in Dickinson. Spent a lot of weekends camping and boating over there - a lot of memories, family reunions, campfires - wow, a lot of memories. I believe the County now runs the camping area and the area has been developed.

The federal government should not own any land unless it serves a distinct national interest. (military base, missile silo, border patrol post, etc.) All other land holdings of the federal government should be immediately sold off and the debt paid with the proceeds.
