East or west river? ;-) My brother & family are south of Reva, 6 miles

their next-door neighbor.

West River. Gregory County - pheasant capital of the world. ;-)

Here's a funny true story. When I was going to college at SDSU, I had a
classmate from Minnesota. One day he asked me where the town of West River
was. I said 'huh?'. He said that a lot of people he has asked where they
are from, reply 'West River'. He'd spent all night looking at a map of
South Dakota trying to find the town of 'West River'!
