    Many old homesteads

    Well, I got the info on an area here where MANY family homesteads were bought up by the government during WWII. These were old farms on some country roads that were bought so the military could manufacture TNT. It became an ordinance stockpile during the war. Anyway, the area was sold after WWII and one person kept his LARGE tract of land and put up an 8' high fence around the whole thing. It has never been MDed to my knowledge so it looks like virgin territory.
    Cant wait to get my Whites XLT out there!! I'm currently working to get permission from the landowner to work the area.
    Merry Christmas to all & Happy New Year !

    I sure hope there isn't ant TNT left in there!
    I'm sure they removed it all. I'm still working on getting permission.
