I Came across this sign on the upper boundary of the land I'm buying. I like it! Just don't tell me what I can do with my land.

I'd be getting a land survey. Gunflint

I did the survey like you said. Airplane pictures and all. It's fine and I actualy ended up with 11 acres instead of 10. My frind just moved in to his house on the land last month as we were going to split it but can't get it to perk test for 2 home sites. So it looks like i will sell out to him. I want you to know you did make me think about the survey. LOL

You do any trails this last winter? I don't think your wife could take the worry,I was even worried about you,That was awesome what you did. LOL.

it is fascinating to read you guys talking about acres the same as californians talk about "i have a big lot, almost 62 feet wide."

Dan - I did manage to get back up north this winter and do the long hike. It's a long two weeks, but it's worth every minute once you get back. Notice I said once you get back this year I saw a few wolves and a ton of moose. Now I'm starting on our house out here so for the next 6-9 months I'll be busting my hump. But by the look of the appraisal it will be worth it. Gunflint

I know what you mean about after its over. I have some great memories of backpacking in the High Sierras. some hard 20+ mile days but NOTHING like what you do.Of course in the Sierras you can go from 4000 ft to 12000 ft elavation and back all in one day.

Thats great about your house. Is it on the same land as you shop? Its great how you do most of the work as labor now is more than materials, at least here in Calif. I remember what you had into your shop. what that ened up costing you was unreal. My friend put a small modular home on my old property and that thing ened up costing like 150 K. but its nice and I can take my motor home up there and enjoy it wth my best friend. He made a graded a small pad for me. LOL

Yes - I'm pretty excited about the house. It's got everything I wanted a house to have - a huge master bedroom with a huge master sitting room attached and a 8X24 deck off the master bedroom on the second floor of the house which at night overlooks a huge valley behind our house where the sun just happens to set. I also have to mention that I got my wife to give me a four car garage so I have no room to complain. Gunflint

Take pictures and keep us up on your progress. We look forward to seeing your hard work turn into a reality.It will be exciting and encouraging for us all, NO DOUBT!
