At Home In The Woods

So. . .now you have a river property and a camper for sale, eh?

Congratulations!:thumbsup:

Thursday we accepted an offer to sell the river property! Closing is this Thursday. The buyer is paying cash. I don't want to celebrate too soon because anything could happen between now and then. However, I'm hopeful.

That's great!:thumbsup: I hope your closing goes well. It can sure change your lifestyle to sell unwanted property. An besides, I'm getting tired of looking at those two pictures in your signature anyhow.

Yesterday I traveled the 80 miles to our river property to get the camper ready for moving. The camper has to be removed from the property prior to closing on Thursday. Our truck is in the shop so I couldn't pull the camper off the property yesterday. A friend will remove the camper for me this week.

When we moved the camper onto the property, we had put the camper on blocks and removed the wheels to detract thieves from steeling the camper. It's an old camper that wouldn't bring any money for a thief but it could be used as a meth lab.

I loaded the 3 wheels and tires, one was a spare, into my trunk at our house Saturday and went to a truck stop on the way to air up the tires. At the truck stop I found out that 2 of the 3 tires had bad valves. I found a used tire place that was open on Saturday not too far out of the way that did not close at noon like every other tire shop in town. While there, I observed that a rear tire on my car was half flat. The tire was coming apart and could not be plugged. It was extremely fortunate that I noticed the bad tire while I was already at a tire shop. So I got a used tire for $25 for the car and had two of the trailer tire valves fixed for a total of $35. I was very grateful that what could have been an ordeal turned out to not be a problem at all. I tipped the tire worker $10 and drove the remaining 15 miles to the camper.

When I got to the property, I felt a little sadness that this would be my last time on the property. It really is a spectacular piece of land with the forest, the bluffs, waterfall, river, large mountain creek, and 270 degree views overlooking the two gorges where the creek and river meet. However, from a practical standpoint, I can't justify keeping the property anymore since we have settled in a different town. I have a baby now that needs a college fund and also must do what we can to prepare for retirement. The river property is a luxury that must be exchanged for necessities.

I was able to put the wheels on the camper without too much trouble and get the camper ready. I removed the lock off the gate as the sun went down over the gorge and departed the property for good.

You sure are one camper-intensive family!

I looked through the pics of your property through the link in your sig some time ago. It is really beautiful property. Nothing like that around here.

Congrats on selling the property.:thumbsup:
Really happy things are coming together for your family.

You seem to be on quite a good luck roll. Maybe you should by a lottery ticket or two?

lol I would also take the winning numbers.

I was just hoping some of that luck would rub off on me when I put my house up for sale in a month or 2.

I feel your pain. Sorry you had to make that choice.

Land is the only tangible thing that truly is forever and unreplaceable in this world.
