I got two good tent sites, one by the pond on a kinda pennisula and one way back in the back. The farm was pieced together and is not anywhere near square. I would drive back to the back one and setup shop for 2 or 3 days and no one knew where I was. I love it. Especially camping in winter when you get a couple warm days, but snow is still around.


Good stuff. We've got a friend with a farm, but all of their land is farm land, tilled over and planted. No one with a cool wooded property like that. You should put together a small meet. 8-) :mrgreen:

I have been thinking of a small meet, but our water source is not completed and some people wont shit in the woods. I just did there this weekend when deer hunting and can tell you the second tree from the left works great as a lean spot, even got a hand rail/branch for support. But I am trying to figure out something for maybe the spring or even a snow get-together. Could ice-fish, sled, tube behind quad and wheel some.

Got a new woodstove for the cabin, so hopefully it works better than last one and the new wiunders should help too. I will keep yall informed.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.

REALLY? I'm not a huge camping person and I'd have no problem ripping one off in the woods. Now if I brought my wife, that's another story. Seriously, hold it or bring a portapot. :lol:

I do have a chemical toilet. It is just not the same as the real thing. we have the plumbing ran, electric is all on, two 250 gal tanks for a cistern in the basement, pump for them, but need to finish a few pipes and insulate so it wont freeze, then just hook it up and we have a full bath. Problem is that i am now 75 miles from there and cant run out there everyday to work on it, so it waits. But we may be switching speeds and throwing a well in which would be a lot simpler.

Well I hope some time you'll be comfortable/able to host a little meet. I'm feeling less and less content as just mall rated by the day. 8-)
