A whole mountain! :o WOW! It never occurred to me such a thing was possible!Actually it's below snow level. But it has been known to snow there for a day or so every few years. Tommy (my ol man) wants to buy a tractor and cut a flat road, traversing the mountain so we can build a shop on it. He also wants to put a go cart track around the front of the property. He is a good welder and builds motors. He wants to build a couple of fast go carts. I just want to do some farming. I love to can, make jellies and dry fruit. So, Tommy will definitely get his tractor. The hard part is going to be moving. We have two 10x30ft storage's full of house stuff, a 10x20ft storage full of tools and a garage full of tools too. And then there's the vehicles; an 88' Oldsmobile, an 83' Dodge Ram 4x4, a 69' El Camino SS, a 64' Falcon Sprint, a motorcycle trailer, 4 Harley's and a 31ft motor home. That's a lot of 3 hour drives each way. The worse part is I have never drove the motor home or pulled a trailer. My peripheral vision sucks, so I wont be learning to drive them either. The Sprint is Tommys first car and I would be too nervous to drive it. It's bad enough I hit the front fender of the El Camino with my bike a few years ago. I locked up the back brake on the wet lawn and creamed right into the El Camino, one week after he painted it. That night I knew Tommy really loved me when all he said was "At least you didn't get hurt." Boy, I sure wish there were some magic way we could get all our stuff up to the new house without dozens of trips back and forth. On the good side, I'm sure to loose a few pounds and tighten the ol body up lifting hauling all our stuff up there. Just got the escrow papers today and escrow closes on Feb. 9th.
If it ever snowed there, you could have so much fun
Wow,, im duly impressed.Need a butler?I say, I say, I'll be obliged to work for you, madam.
Robin, don't think we'll need a butler, but if you're ever out this way... my door's always open and the guest room will be there for you. Bring your guns, you can teach us how to play golf (your way.)
a bargain compared to the uk prices.That's exactly what I plan on doing with some of the land. I enjoy making jellies, jams, salsa's, pickles and a variety of other home grown canning. I like dry my own fruits and make my own olives. Some of the first additions to the yard will be a couple of apricot trees, a peach tree, a Bing cherry tree, a Santa Rosa plum tree, blueberries and raspberries. Once my trees mature I might even submit some of my home made goodies in the local county fair. They will recognize my last name as my mom and dad tend to take home a blue ribbon or two every year. I didn't realize how much I missed my garden till I sold my house last May. My parents think I'm crazy, but they love it when I come to visit them, because every time I'm over I start pruning their trees and weeding their yard. Funny how when I had to do it, it was always a chore. But, now I've come to realize that my time working in the yard has always been my peace of mind "Time with God."
looks great.
with all that land i'd be growing home produce and selling in a small shop.
maybe a small orchard as well.
ever though of B/B ;D
book me and the family in.
