Guys, you have no idea how excited I am!
I just purchased 80 acres. Super secluded. Like 19 miles from the nearest paved road, and 3.15 miles off of the dirt road kind of secluded!

It's pretty much all flat, with a slight slope. It's is technically "desert" area, but is pretty green compared to what I usually think of desert..

I saw a lot of animals including a moose and a wild (well, wild/feral reservation) horse!

Had a couple mishaps on my first time going to it though.
For example, if you follow maps it leads you to a HUGE creek that has carved out and overflown (permanently I think) over the road and GPS *REALLY* wants you to try and drive though it! lol
(long story short)
My mom was super excited for me and wanted to go to see it and had somehow convinced me that we should TOTALLY take her car instead of my truck. 8-| long story short, we had to have a tow truck come get her car out of mud after she tried to go around a big puddle, BUT WAIT, that's not all folks, after the tow truck pulled us out his truck got stuck and we had to have a tow truck for the toe truck! They sent out a normal tow truck and a semi tow truck just in case. The normal tow truck got him out no problem. On the way out of there though the second team of tow trucks were speeding (going like 60mph when everyone else drives 35-40mph) and at what used to be a mud puddle the edges were hardened and dry, and going 60mph he Definitely caught some air and ended up in a ditch. We had to have ANOTHER tow truck..
In the end though it's a pretty fun story of how we needed a tow truck, then a team of tow trucks for our tow truck, and then a tow truck for our tow trucks tow truck =))

Suffice to say, being in the middle of nowhere, there is a LOT of improvements and work to be done, but I hope to be moving me and my horseys out there in the next year or two!
