What's next?

Since Christmas we have been settled in, and snowed in, back at the cabin in Maine. We have stayed busy by exercising the dogs and even some good old fashioned sledding down the driveway.






But we have also been busy with our next project as well. We are in the process of buying a place on the Vermont/Canada border where we would live but also operate as lodging for hunters and snowmobilers. It is in an area known for good numbers of both ruffed grouse and moose yet there is little lodging available in the area during bird season. It is currently owned by Fannie Mae and in need of repairs, some of which must be done prior to closing, so we are doing the red tape shuffle with the government as our awkward partner. Hopefully we can successfully muddle through the process and get to work on it this winter.
The views are lovely, looking over the valley and into Canada.


We think we can make it very cozy.



Meanwhile Mike is already making plans and wishes for our 2013 bird season. If all goes well, we anticipate being at the lodge and grouse hunting in Vt until late November. Once the snow flies we will head to KS for bird hunting and some deer to fill the freezer back up. This state has also been showing up on Mike's computer a lot.....


...several species of game birds there are calling us, including chukar which would be a first for both of us. Stay tuned. The Open Range awaits
