I own a few acres approx. 1.5 hours from where I live that we use to camp on. It's elevation is 2600ft. With awesome views. While 2 acres is not enough to wheel on its in a area that has more seasonal roads and right of ways than paved roads. We use the property as a snowmobile camp in the winter as a trail crosses my land. We put a camper on it for the winter. Being that I'm in Western NY I can ride a snowmobile from my my land to my home via the extensive state funded trail system. I hope to frame a small cabin, and add a composting toilet system this summer. The property has history dating back to the 1800 as old oil fields. We have found numerous old bottles such as elixir ,and root extract. I plan to purchase a metal detector to try and locate old tools, coins, or whatever from the oil boom days. I will add pics when I can as this forum isn't apple iPad or iPhone friendly. Anyone else have a rural boondock camp area? I'd like to hear about it!!
