Picking up and carrying heavy stones is....Hey!... is what my kids will do as teenagers for punishment I may have the entire place redone.

But the old walls running though the woods are artifacts to me. The forests of the east coast are all second growth, and I've

come across farm remmnants in the Appalacians from VT to TN. The deeper in the woods they are, the more affecting they become. A set of weathered walls, a squarish pile indicating the foundation, and an aged fruit tree or two is a special find.

I can't see shooting more than a grouse or two per year on the place.

Steve Lawson,
That's the area that we looked in for about 6 months, but the prices were too too much. I'm 20-30 years too late for that part of the state.



Yeti, My father was offered a 140 +/- Acre working dairy farm with barns, sheds, Milk house, 23 room house (divided into three apartments and a secound three bedroom house in 1957 or 1958 for $38,000......... From the mountains in the east crossing a dirt road (At that time) to the river in the valley to the west......... Gorgeous. At that time he couldn't come up with the 20% cash down needed to purchase. He often lamented that............... as do I.
