Exploring

We’ve had a chance to do some exploring and wanted took some pictures along the way.  As we develop the site, you may see these pictures show up again as “before” shots.  I know you all don’t want to wait for the “after” shots to be ready, so here you go:

A pile of 30 year old wood scraps in the "side yard".

The little "shelf" above the building site.  We'll eventually add a picnic table and make it a little hang out spot.

There aren't any trails, so exploring means you just make a "path" through the woods.

The First Look

Here are some pictures of our first few trips to the property in fall 2012.  I included some pictures with us in the image (even though we aren’t paying attention to the camera) to give you some size perspective.
