Progress

Here's a walk down memory lane.

Photos from November 28, 2005.  

 

I remember it clearly as a very soggy and muddy deer camp experience.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is notable in the photos below are thousands of little trees planted in rows.  

 

At the time I was discouraged.  Those trees seemed to stay as small as twigs FOREVER.  I figured I would never live long enough to see them amount to anything.  

For a significant number of years you could easily see a quarter mile distant and any whitetail sneaking across these fields did so at their own peril.  Things have certainly changed.

I went upstairs to the blue bedroom and took photos from all the principle compass points.  These are to the southwest...

 

 

And to the northwest...

 

Same views after almost eighteen years of reforestation progress.  Southwest....

And northwest...

 

  

You can hardly see anything beyond the edge of the yard.  Not even the road or the western property line.  

Jungle it is....
