We Bought Some Land


We had a sailboat.

But we discovered it was too hard to get to in a way we could enjoy it. We have far more weekends available at the last minute than we have planned days to prebook flights and wander the west coast of Canada.

So we sold the boat.

Instead we used that money to buy raw land. Heavily logged swamp land and fen and a couple of boggy spots and huge fields of maybe hay at one point. Noted as “poor to useless” for agriculture.

And an owl.

Yes, we agree, a totally sound investment.

Come watch the journey, which will include a substantial learning curve (I’m hoping not as huge as sailing), and a ridiculous amount of cursing. You have been warned.

We bought some land. 160 acres in the Canadian boreal forest. This is a diary of its development.
