Route....

We've been driving around looking at land listings, and haven't found anything we're really very interested in yet. Our fund is limited, and we are fairly particular about the land we want to live on, as well as the area of the state. There has been discussion and consideration of property downeast as well as northern Maine, and we've even entertained living out of state. We keep coming back to this area of Maine... so we've decided to concentrate our efforts here. We'll keep checking out the land listings on realtor.com, and looking in Uncle Henry's. We've seen some pretty interesting pieces of land this way! None that we've seriously considered, but interesting nonetheless. Our new approach is to look at the Maine Gazatteer and map a route of exploration in a specific area of interest. We have an idea that there may be property available but not listed anywhere for one reason or another. This may be a long shot, but it's worth a try! It is a lot of fun to just take off for a day, or even an afternoon, with a lunch, camera, GPS, notebook, some great CD's to listen to, and most important EACH OTHER for conversation and companionship and just see what's out there. Who knows, sometimes we see a barn we like the looks of, or a field of turkeys, or sometimes an interesting land formation. Stay tuned for reports of our drives!
