We didn't get out of our car and only took the time for some pictures. If you want to see them, let me know and I will email them to you.<br /><br />We ran across a group of men in pickup trucks who said they were bird hunting. Evidently it's a good hunting area. We didn't feel threatened by them, but didn't get out of the car and chat with them long.<br /><br />Have fun out there.Clark Ramblinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713435758075556066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-29282492998106909022020-04-06T12:31:51.920-05:002020-04-06T12:31:51.920-05:00The house sits on 1 acre.The house sits on 1 acre.MoonFly13https://www.blogger.com/profile/00313609283143105489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-23223335754620963942020-04-06T11:08:33.837-05:002020-04-06T11:08:33.837-05:00Went out and looked at the pictures and it is defi...Went out and looked at the pictures and it is definitely a fixer upper.

I love it! Not $229,000 love, but it's adorable and could be so cute! The cemetery reminds of a place about an hours drive from here called Aurora, in the middle of nowhere but so well kept up with the flowers and decorations :) If you're uncomfortable , best to keep going.

The locals do NOT like strangers poking around their property and yes, they all have guns. I always drive slow and try to be respectful. They just don't want you stealing anything!! Most times I just wave and say hello.

There were several properties for sale and even a simple mobile home was over $100K. Best to just get the heck out of a place that creeps you out. Always listen to your gut - there is a reason why you have a 6th sense - it is called self preservation. Your steak sounds good & will smell great cooking on the grill.

All the flowers, statues, and how some graves even have little picket fences around them. Pretty sure a growling and two guys disappearing around a hill in a cemetery would have kept us on the outside of the fence, also...:) Every once and a while we come upon a place when we get out and walk around it just does not feel comfortable. Almost like you are being watched. Not a place we stay at. Great pictures makes us want to take a ride and check it out. Maybe next year.
