The Property

Well, we just bought 100 acres of land up by Fall Creek. We plan on dividing it and selling off 10 acre parcels with the hope of building a house up there some day on one of the parcels. It's going to be a lot of work! The property has many beautiful areas, but also a lot of "stuff" that will need to be hauled away. We have brush to clear and roads to put in. We are seriously thinking of getting a tractor to help with the work. We bought some quads to get around the property and they have been a lifesaver! Kara went up with us yesterday and helped clear a road so that we could explore more of the property. We are tired, sore, and scratched from the blackberry bushes, but excited to get out and work the land!


One of the first spots we discovered when exploring the property. It's this cool fallen tree and large, moss covered rock...perfect for a picnic. There is a small stream nearby.

This stream runs through the field.

As I said previously, there is some "stuff" to remove. I call this Noah's Ark. It seems that the floods abated and it came to rest here in the middle of the field!

One of our favorite areas...the mossy rocks. It covers a large area and there are several moss covered rocks that just crop up out the landscape. I plan on spreading wildflower seeds all around this area, along with planting several bulbs that will pop up randomly in the spring. We've already seen deer and elk grazing in this area.


Another small creek that runs on the property. This one has several small waterfalls along the way.

It looks awesome! I can't wait to see it in person! Just be careful with planting bulbs. I hear the deer like to dig them up and eat them. :o)

What a beautiful and peaceful place! I will bet that you will make something beautiful out of that boat!
