We just yesterday returned from three nights up at Baxter State Park, so my traditional thing to say is that I have returned, yet again uneaten by bears, and talk about our hikes this year, etc, maybe go back and do some retro-posts so that those will show up on the appropriate days. But guys, all that is taking second place in my mind right now to something which happened the day before we left.

On the 18th our offer on a piece of land was accepted! We're gonna be landowners again! I think this means we can vote? We are HYPOTHETICAL landowners until we pay for it, so we have to organize our resources in the next few days.

It's 6.6 acres and some change in Sweden, Maine. (Yes, there's a town named Sweden. Also Norway, Mexico and China. It's an ongoing source of humor. We finally found that there's still a Sodom, but unfortunately did not see any land for sale there.)

Six acres, flat, tree-covered, with lots of what appears to be blueberry plants. It's way too far from work to commute, but I plan to retire in a few years so hopefully by then we can have had a house built. Until then we can go camp on the property, learn about it, try to figure out how we want things laid out when we bring people in, and find the people we want to hire. I'm so excited!
