- 22:45So
- 22:46what
- 22:46is
- 22:46the.
- 22:46Assuming
- 22:47there's
- 22:47enough

- 23:04but
- 23:04you
- 23:04have
- 23:04something
- 23:05different.
- 23:07I,
- 23:07I
- 23:08think
- 23:08that
- 23:08it
- 23:09definitely
- 23:09just
- 23:11your
- 23:11region
- 23:12will
- 23:12distinguish
- 23:13whether
- 23:13or
- 23:13not
- 23:13you're
- 23:13going
- 23:14to
- 23:14have
- 23:14much
- 23:14more
- 23:14demand.
- 23:15You
- 23:15brought
- 23:16up
- 23:16Texas,
- 23:16that's
- 23:16a
- 23:17great
- 23:17example
- 23:17where
- 23:18you
- 23:18can
- 23:18build
- 23:18a
- 23:19new
- 23:19thousand
- 23:19site
- 23:20campground
- 23:21in
- 23:21the
- 23:22Northeast.
- 23:22You
- 23:22cannot
- 23:23build
- 23:23a
- 23:24campground
- 23:24from
- 23:24scratch.
- 23:25Can't
- 23:25do
- 23:25it.
- 23:26I
- 23:27can
- 23:27count
- 23:27on
- 23:27one
- 23:27hand
- 23:28how
- 23:28many
- 23:28people
- 23:28have
- 23:29built
- 23:29a
- 23:29campground
- 23:30from
- 23:30scratch
- 23:31in
- 23:31all
- 23:31of
- 23:31the
- 23:31Northeast
- 23:32in
- 23:32the
- 23:32last
- 23:32decade.
- 23:33And
- 23:34it
- 23:34took
- 23:34them
- 23:35years
- 23:35and
- 23:35years
- 23:35and
- 23:35years
- 23:36and
- 23:36it
- 23:36just
- 23:36wasn't
- 23:36cost
- 23:37effective.
- 23:37So
- 23:37you,
- 23:38you
- 23:38get
- 23:38a
- 23:39region
- 23:39here
- 23:39where
- 23:40even
- 23:40adding
- 23:41new
- 23:41sites
- 23:41to
- 23:41an
- 23:41existing
- 23:42campground
- 23:43can
- 23:43take
- 23:44years
- 23:44if
- 23:44you
- 23:45ever
- 23:45get
- 23:45the
- 23:45approvals.
- 23:46So
- 23:46we
- 23:47have
- 23:47a
- 23:47different
- 23:48model
- 23:48up
- 23:49in
- 23:49the
- 23:49Northeast
- 23:49than
- 23:49you
- 23:50would
- 23:50have
- 23:50in
- 23:50a
- 23:50place
- 23:51like
- 23:51Texas
- 23:52where
- 23:52they're
- 23:52popping
- 23:53up
- 23:53left
- 23:53and
- 23:53right.
- 23:54So
- 23:54In
- 23:54a
- 23:55region
- 23:55like
- 23:55that,
- 23:56which
- 23:56is
- 23:56also
- 23:56similar
- 23:57to
- 23:57some
- 23:57of
- 23:57the
- 23:57other
- 23:57regions
- 23:58out
- 23:58there,
- 23:59there
- 23:59are
- 24:00some
- 24:00states
- 24:00that
- 24:00are,
- 24:00you
- 24:01know,
- 24:01much
- 24:01more
- 24:01highly
- 24:01regulated
- 24:02and
- 24:02won't
- 24:03be
- 24:03able
- 24:03to
- 24:03build
- 24:04as,
- 24:04as
- 24:05easily
- 24:05as
- 24:05Texas.
- 24:06The
- 24:07demand
- 24:07in
- 24:08the
- 24:08last
- 24:08several
- 24:09years
- 24:09since
- 24:10COVID
- 24:10for
- 24:10seasonal
- 24:11sites
- 24:11has
- 24:11been
- 24:12astronomical.
- 24:13Before
- 24:13COVID
- 24:15almost
- 24:15nobody
- 24:16had
- 24:16wait
- 24:16lists,
- 24:17right.
- 24:17For
- 24:18seasonals
- 24:18except
- 24:19the
- 24:19premier
- 24:19parks.
- 24:20Since
- 24:21COVID
- 24:22almost
- 24:22everybody
- 24:23has
- 24:23a
- 24:23wait
- 24:23list
- 24:24and
- 24:24they
- 24:24still
- 24:24have
- 24:24a
- 24:24waitlist.
- 24:25Now,
- 24:25I
- 24:26saw
- 24:26last
- 24:26year
- 24:27a
- 24:27little
- 24:27bit
- 24:27of
- 24:27a
- 24:27shift
- 24:28that
- 24:28the
- 24:28seasonal
- 24:29rates
- 24:29went
- 24:29up
- 24:29so
- 24:30much.
- 24:30They
- 24:30basically
- 24:31offset
- 24:31the
- 24:32reduction
- 24:33that
- 24:33we
- 24:33saw
- 24:33in
- 24:33the
- 24:34transient
- 24:34traffic.
- 24:34A
- 24:34lot
- 24:35of
- 24:35parks
- 24:35were
- 24:35a
- 24:35little
- 24:35bit
- 24:36down
- 24:36on
- 24:36transients
- 24:37last
- 24:37year
- 24:38for
- 24:38various
- 24:38reasons.
- 24:39It
- 24:39could
- 24:39be
- 24:39weather,
- 24:40could
- 24:40be
- 24:40market
- 24:40related,
- 24:41depending
- 24:41on
- 24:41the
- 24:41park,
- 24:42depending
- 24:42on
- 24:43the
- 24:43region.
- 24:44We
- 24:44still
- 24:45have
- 24:45the
- 24:45majority
- 24:46of
- 24:46the
- 24:46parks
- 24:47having
- 24:47wait
- 24:48lists,
- 24:48at
- 24:48least
- 24:49in
- 24:49the
- 24:49north
- 24:50northeast
- 24:51for
- 24:51seasonals.
- 24:52So
- 24:52it's
- 24:52that
- 24:53market
- 24:53factor
- 24:53of
- 24:54where,
- 24:55when
- 24:55do
- 24:55we
- 24:55stop,
- 24:56how
- 24:56much
- 24:56do
- 24:57we

- 26:41And
- 26:41that's
- 26:41where
- 26:42we're

- 27:37So
- 27:37we're
- 27:37seeing
- 27:38that
- 27:38switch.
- 27:38But
- 27:38back
- 27:39to
- 27:39what
- 27:39Brent
- 27:39said
- 27:39earlier
- 27:40about
- 27:42the
- 27:42cost
- 27:43to
- 27:43run
- 27:43these
- 27:43sites.
- 27:44Absolutely,
- 27:44absolutely.
- 27:45It
- 27:45is
- 27:45cheaper
- 27:46to
- 27:46run
- 27:46an
- 27:47all

- 27:49annual
- 27:49park.
- 27:50Long
- 27:50term
- 27:50state
- 27:50park.
- 27:52It
- 27:52is
- 27:52probably
- 27:53about
- 27:53a
- 27:5440%
- 27:55expense
- 27:55ratio
- 27:56is
- 27:56what
- 27:57I
- 27:57generally
- 27:58see
- 27:58on
- 27:59a
- 27:59long
- 27:59term
- 28:00park
- 28:00versus
- 28:01anywhere
- 28:02from
- 28:02a
- 28:0255
- 28:03to
- 28:03a
- 28:0475
- 28:04expense
- 28:05ratio.
- 28:0555%
- 28:06to
- 28:0775%
- 28:07expense
- 28:08ratio
- 28:09on
- 28:09a
- 28:09transient
- 28:10park.
- 28:10Right.
- 28:11The
- 28:11higher
- 28:11the
- 28:12expense,
- 28:12it's
- 28:12usually
- 28:13the,
- 28:13you

- 28:14stones,
- 28:15they
- 28:15have
- 28:15higher
- 28:15fees
- 28:16but
- 28:16you
- 28:17know,
- 28:17generally
- 28:17it
- 28:18depends
- 28:18on
- 28:18the
- 28:18size.
- 28:19But
- 28:19that's
- 28:20a
- 28:20decent
- 28:20range.
- 28:21But
- 28:21certainly
- 28:22it
- 28:22is
- 28:22much,
- 28:22much
- 28:23cheaper
- 28:23to
- 28:23run
- 28:24those

- 28:26those
- 28:26long
- 28:27term
- 28:27parks.
- 28:28And
- 28:28I

- 28:38comes
- 28:38down
- 28:39to
- 28:39cash
- 28:39flow.

- 31:20conversion,
- 31:21seasonal
- 31:21versus

- 31:25see

- 31:26consistent
- 31:26shift.
- 31:27It's
- 31:27going
- 31:28to
- 31:28go
- 31:28up,
- 31:28it's
- 31:28going
- 31:28to
- 31:28go

- 31:30there's
- 31:30more
- 31:30demand
- 31:30for
- 31:31seasonals

- 31:34Even
- 31:35in
- 31:35the
- 31:35Northeast,

- 31:36most
- 31:36campgrounds
- 31:37have
- 31:37seasonal
- 31:38wait
- 31:38lists.
- 31:40So.
- 31:40So
- 31:40the
- 31:40reason
- 31:41I
- 31:41ask
- 31:41here
- 31:41is
- 31:41twofold.
- 31:43You
- 31:43know,
- 31:43a
- 31:44lot
- 31:44of
- 31:44a
- 31:44ton

- 31:47probably
- 31:47remembered
- 31:4822%

- 31:50But
- 31:50the
- 31:51couple
- 31:51things
- 31:51that

- 31:53head
- 31:53when
- 31:53you

- 32:17know
- 32:17there's
- 32:17a
- 32:17lot
- 32:17of

- 32:20A
- 32:20lot
- 32:21of
- 32:21intangibles,
- 32:21a
- 32:22lot
- 32:22of
- 32:22data
- 32:22that
- 32:22we
- 32:23have
- 32:23never
- 32:23seen

- 32:25But

- 32:25understand,
- 32:26you

- 32:27I
- 32:27don't

- 49:09But
- 49:09from
