It is! Been here 25 years...love it perfect all around weather, plenty of lakes and rivers, ocean is only 8 hrs away

Easy triangulation, have posted enough pictures online since 1999...

It's definitely GOD'S country here

So, I have low ball offers from everyone including a couple auction houses, so...I picked it up and moved it to the goat shed.

Plan is to cut 1 foot out off each side, chamfer, weld, grind and have a 5ft box blade for about$700 total and that includes the $600 purchase price12 years ago or so.

I'm thinking of trying it as is? Good idea or bad?
