You're seeing correctly. The pond is in the middle of that trail......but I do have a trail you do not see that loops around this pond. I plan to plant this trail in switch.....and just use one side for a small travel lane. About the only thing it will lead to is my blind. I am...

Got the bill from my excavator today.....and I was not there when they finished the job. Going to OZ tomorrow.....so I figured I better have one more look before paying the tab. Snapped a few more pics. They sure did more than I figured I would get from them. Very satisfied with the...

^ Always been someone to shout "the sky is falling" or "FIRE!! in a crowded theater. I think people are pretty resilient....and will find a way through this too. We need more craftsmen.....with a desire to make neat stuff......or do we? I suppose a clock maker or a tv repairman dont...

Not many good stores to shop are left. Penny's, Sears, Herbergers, and many more are gone or diminished. Kohls sounds shaky too. Seems that on-line shopping has eaten most of the competition in the clothing world. Still, noting remains the same. One day Amazon will be outdone by...

^ Very well said!

I just did a Facebook search on corduroy roads.....and I gotta say....mine may be the finest example of such in those many pages. I think my road will be there for a long, long time. 12 feet wide x 100 yards long, geo textile under well placed tamarack logs. This thing would carry a tank...

NOT! SD....I am 1/4 mile from a large lake with a marina where my pontoon is moored in well protected waters. The lake is well known for panfish, bass and walleye. Why on earth would I spend time and money to put perch in there? MN....land of 10,000 lakes (and a few fish ponds)...

Yesterday I was driving around with my UTV at my land. Was picking the heaters out of a few blinds and brought my cameras in for the winter. I think I flushed a half a dozen grouse while driving about. This is the most grouse I have had on my land since owning it. I likely should...

Nope. Just took some time to seep in at the water table. This is close to the water level I will have going forward. You could see the change in soil colors when they found the water depth. It’s about three feet deep.

A few more pics from today. They really did a nice job on my road and I have a thick blanket of sand over the corduroy and have some geo-fabric under the corduroy. I think it is built right. I could use some "binder" or clay in the top coat.....but maybe next summer I can use up some...

With all the trading you do......you must have a horrible short term capital gains issue. no?

You're thinking larger than my energy level SD. I got golf to play and pontoon rides to do. I'm more into low-hanging fruit these days. Grin.

I really like exploring new terrain and new places. Getting hard for me to walk or do lots of strenuous walking or boating....but I like cruising some backroads in my UTV just to see some back-country sites and nature. Between your place and mine is a huge wilderness area that has lots of...

Will have a 12 + foot wide sand road over that 100 yards of low land. I wonder if I can grow switch grass on the sides of this? May find a little black dirt too....could use some "binder" in that sand. Any opinions on how to grow something there? May find some cuttings too....and...
