I have 7 acres. I used to own 30 acres next door too. It was nice - big stocked pond, metal pole barn with concrete and utilities, 100 or so apple trees, 22 of it being farmed which covered the taxes. Selling that land is my biggest - maybe only- regret. My daughter was a baby, I wasn't making shit - it was during that 'mortgage meltdown' or whatever it was. Anyhow, there was no work and I freaked out. That land could have saved me and a couple of my neighbors plus funded my retirement. Hopefully 7 acres is enough to keep people at a distance.NEGATORY. NOT ENOUGH.

Hey, Faith, this is WSL.It's all Bulgarian to me
I feel your pain. Despite the claim that our population is decreasing this whole area is building up. Parents die, the kids would rather have cash than the farm, some developer buys it, here come the Mc mansions. It's happening at the river, it's happening in the holler, all over the county.I have 7 acres. I used to own 30 acres next door too.

I have maybe one more move left in me, is it worth the hassle just to once again be chased by the mob?

Man...if those dago builders fck up this whole Walden groove I got going on it's going to be a disaster. They already ruined the sky. South is garbage. The rest is maybe Bortle 4 - which is like suburbs, not hinterlands like we were. I am a witness to the carnage every single day. I'm a foot soldier in the holocaust, a willing participant; but I do so under duress.
