We've seen enough pics/heard enough stories to know that there's at least a couple kids around there to attest to the 'secluded' environment. :lol:
As for us, not quite as far North as NR, but far enough to have more than 50% of 365 days being covered in snow. Some years you spend November hunting in light boots and a sweater, others you're shivering your @$$ off wishing you'd spent the money on 1000 weight Thinsulate from the Cabela's book, or a set of RavenWear. But those B&C whities and mulies make it all worthwhile.
Would we do it somewhere else if we could start over? Tough to say. I think we may do somethings different, since there's 1000 things I know would make a big difference in HOW we're doing, not so much as WHERE we're doing it.
We've got it great here really. Land is still reasonable. We're buying 1000 acres of pasture from my folks right now for what you would certainly call "Family Pricing". $100/acre, with the understanding that we buy the cropland(875 acres) for something a little closer to market value. When we buy it is up to my folks, but it gives us time to pay off the pasture and build equity. So when you get deals like this and family works together, it's tough to picture wanting to be anywhere else. :wink:
