I'll be going out in the 105 degree heat to check out the land my Dad and I just bought and maybe cut a feww trails. I am super excited about it. I have always wanted to own some land, and I finally came across the right deal with my Dad and best friend as my partner. We bought 167 acres along the Wichita River just west of where I live. I know 167 acres isn't much, especially here in Texas, but it is to this poor boy it is my own little slice of heaven!

It is very wooded and thick with two 20 acre plots that the previous owner had planted in blackberries and grapes. We will be leaving about an acre of grapes and blackberries but i'm not sure what we'll do with the rest of it. We have a lot of trail cutting to do so the big blades as well as the chain saw will be coming out this weekend. Here are a few pics. If anyone is interested I'll post more.

Here are a couple pics from back in the thick stuff...


Another shot back in the thick stuff..note the game trail..


Natural drainage ways to the river..


From the top of the river bank down towards the water..


Man-made gravel trail that runs to the grape and blackberry patches..

tolly, that looks like a piece of land that could compete with Tom's!
but do you have your own pond!? hmmm? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
light cheap machettes are probably best for that kind of work.
