These pictures are from April 13, 2002. This is our second inspection of
the land prior to finalizing the purchase. We found a few things that will
need to be cleaned up, but it looks great to us! Dug a couple of holes and
they came up dry.
|

|
This is our new neighborhood. One of the few paved
roads in the area.
|
|

|
And at the end of the road is the entrance to our
new adventure. It sure will take a lot of work. We can’t wait.
|
|

|
A sampling of one of the more open areas. This view
is near the front entrance looking south from the power line easement.
|
|

|
One of the many welcome gifts we found hidden on
the property. We found this stack of old pallets dumped on the power
line easement near the entrance
|
|

|
Looking east across the easement. It’s hard to
believe that all this and more will be ours.
|
|

|
Looking south at the turn in the power lines from
over near the Flagler trail. Those towers are HUGE.
|
|

|
And under the turn in the power lines, another
present. Someone left us a pile of shingles, pipe and assorted building
material.
|
|

|
Someone turned this load of shingles into a fire
ring under the power lines. Nearby we found lots of beer cans, cigarette
boxes and a set of clothing. (I would think it was kind of hard to
explain coming home without pants and shirt)
|
|

|
On the north end of the power line turn, we found
these bags of broken concrete blocks.
|
|

|
More shingles and carpet at the north end of the
power line turn.
|
|

|
Poaching - Deer carcass near the fire ring. I guess
they needed to BBQ while trespassing.
|
|

|
This is one of the paths heading North from the
power line. Kind of reminds you of those National Geographic
documentaries of the jungle. There is even a peacock making jungle
noises in the distance.
|
|

|
Trash thrown off to one side of the above path.
|
|

|
Another view.
|
|

|
Looking northeast from the mid point of the path.
This is the kind of view that the native Indians woke up to each
morning. No wonder they tried to protect and nourish the land.
|
|

|
Look what our neighbors to the north gave us. This
occurred since our last visit to the land. Their land is now cleared.
|
|

|
Another view.
|
|

|
Looking east from the power line easement
|
|

|
More poaching - Deer skin near the Flagler Trail.
|
|

|
Here is the skull and spine
|
|

|
A view of Lake Harney from the end of Lake Harney
Road. It is about 2 miles from our land.
