I would still need my phone so I can get on the forum........Virtual friends are the bestWell, from the top of the property you get cell service or another spot about 15 minutes away (closer then the top BTW). Losing the electronic leash is rather enlightening.
Chet,Not soon enough. I'm hoping to put off the back surgery long enough to get the logs stacked to season for a year and the septic all installed. I do have an open invite to those who may want a cheap quiet getaway.
What can I say but WOW and double holy Bat Cave WOW
So when is the house warming? cough cough

This whole thing has been a dream since I was a kid, my father and I helped a guy build a cabin, then helped my uncle, and eventually we built a small cabin by the lake. So, it feels good to get this close and in a place I really feel comfortable at.

Sorry about that Chet.I think the hit to the pride is bigger than the hit to the wallet, which woulda come at some time anyway. I feel a bit of betrayal as I really did work hard at being quiet, I lost at a minimum 2 days labor X 3 waiting for the requested time and for what? I can look forward to a full days work when I return, no more sleeping in till 6 or lounging around the campfire at 8 Us broke guys can only work so hard
So, a WOW big time. Someone (probably the resort owner) turned me in. I just got a notice from the county. The resort owner doesn't like people who start working before 8 or after 8. Like I told him, God only has so many hours of daylight on any given day. No power tools, no nails driven between those hours, the backhoe stayed off, heck, I even resorted to a hand saw and screws to start things before 8. The worst thing we did was run a cement mixer behind the shed after 8, we could not hear it run from the other side of the shed. Long story short, I'm in the permit process, I'm fortunate to have a few really good people who will help me do what I need to do to make it right. I reckon the range will be open even during the resort season I also think I won't be steering the ADV riders his way for the WABDR rides I will be organizing and guiding. I wish him no ill, but I sure as heck aint going out of my way to add to his buisness. I reckon I'm more sad then mad Wrong is wrong and I am wrong. I'll fix my mistakes and learn from them.
Rant off, I still love the place and the offer is open to those who are willing, a bonus is being able to do a little target practice, nothing larger then the .45LC or .300 Weatherby tho
PS, Conrad, ya called it early, I shoulda payed closer attention
Thanks Taff
