We went to see 58 acres - described as pasture and woods with two mobile homes, barn, 2 car expanded garage, two ponds, some fencing.

We arrived at 8 am on Sunday and for 90 minutes we walked the land.  With the drought we are all experiencing, both ponds were dried up as was the pasture.  However, the pasture did look like a nice one.  The woods had quite the elevation too them and our walk quickly turned into a hike.  He had done a nice job of keeping the fence lines clean though.

The mobile homes were not in good condition.  The thing though that made it a "no go" was the well tested positive for lead.  We did not want any part of that. 

Also, I saw no place to put an orchard or a garden.  The soil was rocky. 

So, another failed adventure, but not all was lost.  We did get to spend 90 minutes walking the land.
