I knew people in 1960 with incomes of $97 a MONTH. $90 a week would have been good money. My dad had a "good" job and made somewhere over a $100 a week, but not much, and $.10 an hour raises were the norm.
Realize about the getting there, but I'm talking about spending some time hunting. at least a month. Just finished a book by C.J. McElroy, and he took 30-45 day hunts all the time. But the flights over and back, as opposed to a steam ship, though even in the 50s people flew, just took a few days probably, but time on the ground once there. Not many people out there these days interested in going out for that long, for some reason.
