Weather or Not

Dudes and Dudettes! What an interesting excursion "the mysterious one", and I went on the other day! We were up on the northern areas of the Cumberland Plateau in eastern Tennessee. The heavy rains stopped just before we arrived and began our walk into this area of natural beauty and native human history. The property we walked is for sale and has about a mile of river and creek frontage combined and is protected from over development with some easement restrictions in place. These restrictions limit how many structures can be built and where, in order to protect the natural and historical value of this land. For more information see the link to the right and above for the Tennessee Parks and Greenways Foundation. A piece of property bordering this land is also protected with a conservation easement status as well. This 177 acres lies near Jamestown, TN. An area of the state which seems poised to be sold for housing developments and golf communities to accommodate folks from more northern latitudes who want to retire, move here and inhabit more of this precious natural area. The property is lined along one side by several thousand feet of the Clear Fork river and has several large natural stone houses just up from the shore. Damn, times like this is when I wish was independently filthy rich and appreciated nature as much as I do now in order to buy up all the property, put it into a protected status of some sort to be enjoyed by all who wanted to in a "low impact" sense. The lost idealist rules!
