Modern Thoreau Lives in Hills On 500 a Year
Bearded Black Hills poet-philosopher Badger Clark, age 65, lives in a self built four room cabin in Custer State Park paying $10 yearly ground rent. He funds his life by public speeches and book earnings, living frugally on about $500 annually and pursuing a quiet search for God. He cooks his own meals, lights with kerosene, has no telephone or radio, and visits town every two weeks. He values simplicity, independence, and companionship yet remains rarely lonely, believing life is a habit and that one is rich in what one can let go.
