return

we made it back pretty much unscathed from our trip to the country. the only highway excitement was on the way home when the wife was driving, a big rig had a tire blow out about a hundred feet in front of us. pretty loud but the truck driver was unfazed and just kept going until the next exit.

i took a bunch of pictures, but forgot to empty the camera before i left, so there was a few pictures taking up space on it. i ran out of space before i got all the way through what i wanted pictures of. (note, the largan mega+2 holds 50 1600X1200 pictures, not bad for a free-be camera i got with a server order from dell)

gabriel rides a horse
we took a golf cart ride down the road, it turns from asphalt, to rock, to dirt, to scary. here is where it turns into a dirt road
the pictures are blurry but we went down the scary dirt/rock hill to the bottom where the creek is
the road (now just a horse path) goes right down to the creek
there is also another horse trail that wanders off and crosses the creek
on the way back i took a couple of pictures of the crack house, but i didn’t slow down as we drove by
then we drove over to where our land begins, here is the entrance to it off of hog ridge road
a small tomato and turnip garden that is past it’s prime, looking back you can see the rock driveway leading back to hog ridge
heading further down the rock driveway past a stand of trees to where my brother-in-law lives
my brother-in-law’s place. that’s his pitt bull coming to see us. the kids weren’t too thrilled to have his company
you can see where the driveway turns into a dirt road and a couple of horses up on top of the ridge
more horses and the dirt road that leads back to the south forty
the friendly pitt bull and some old farm equipment
this is the gate where you have to cut through some of the neighbor’s land to get to the rest of the land.
the old road goes around the neighbors land but it is hard to make out and not passable with a golf cart
the dirt road through the neighbor’s land and the kids working on moving a tree off the path. you can see the gate that leads to the big chunk of our land, but this is where i ran out of space on the camera

here are some older picture of the land, including a couple of the land beyond the gate.
