[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 115014, member: 1485"] I've been daydreaming about owning a tiny little parcel somewhere that would someday be our family basecamp. Obviously, if I were living in lala land, I'd shoot for the moon and pick up a couple 40s so that we had someplace to really stretch our legs. But realistically, I'd like to own something basically large enough for a camper/mobile home that someday would maybe be a small cabin and shed. This dream spawned from a college buddy, whose family owns a tiny, nondescript cabin in a town that you can't find on Google unless you know what you're looking for. His grandfather bought the little chunk of ground for a pittance back in the 70s, and then built a cabin with electricity but no running water or sewer. To some it's roughing it, but every time I've been there all I can think about is "Boy, if these walls could talk." That's my dream. To get something, anything, within a couple hours of home base. Start with the ground and maybe add to it eventually. A place to take the kids for long weekends, or just over night when the ducks are migrating through. Where we can make our own memories and hang our own pictures on the walls. Does stuff like that exist any more? I see a lot of huge parcels selling for 10s and 100s of thousands of dollars, but what if you just want a small little footprint? Is it a matter of knocking on some farmer's doors? Honestly curious. Maybe those days are long gone. [/QUOTE]
