I Love Nature

The Invasion has begun!
A very big realtor, friends to our governor, has purchased the land across the creek and a portion of land on our side of the mountain.
They are turning a once upon a time Park, into a commercial vacation/hunting resort.

sigh..

The construction began a couple of years ago. They hired the Barnwood Builders, the ones on TV, to reconstruct these hunting cabins here and a huge beautiful house on the other side of the creek. They also have stocked the creek with trout!!

Now they are turning this 35 acre area that is connected to us into a hunting "bowl." They are renovating an old farmhouse, they are NOW working on, that sits in the middle of the 35 acres. They have put in this awesome fireplace into the farmhouse! It is amazing! They are going to rent it out for $500.00 a day, the workers told us! They have feeders set up for the wildlife to have their final meals. Little hunting houses in every corner of the property. They also built a shooting tower that looks over the land.

Our … single lane logging road, which is our driveway is a right way to that old farmhouse and hunting bowl!!!!!!
Since there has been so much rain here they can't cross the creek to the old farmhouse,.. following me?
So, here comes the workers, if we are driving in or out as they are... someone HAS-TO back up!!!! sigh...

Only one neighbor, right before we turn into our driveway off a blacktop road is dealing with this.. traffic..lol…. 2-4 trucks a day.
They pass only feet away from his back door, as we do each time we go to town.
So much stirring-up is going on here.
The folks on the other side of the mountain has been dealing with all this commercial BS reconstruction for the past two years.
Now it's knocking on our door. They have offered to buy some of our land.
Of course the answer was NO!

I guess next hunting season, no telling what the hell may occur. Luckily most of all this recreational activity will be across the creek... sigh .. who am I fooling?!

@Fernie you should of seen this old lady chase a big truck that roared past the house when all this started. I was barefooted and chased him down to the old farmhouse... quarter of a mile! and had a talk with the workers. That is when I knew the rest of the story. They all understood and they are very kind and thoughtful now. Now.. we wait on the big man to have a sit down talk with. My husband said... I see how you operate now! Head on woman! :-)
