“Welcome to the thread... We have at least one other in the process of making the big move... (Heading for his ‘Gulch’)”

Thank-you. I appreciate the warm welcome. (proof I was right about this thread :) Yes, after 35 years “up North”, we’re heading for the family farm in my beloved hills and the kind of “community” described in the “Alabama” song, “Down Home”. :)

“Several are looking for places and others are able to hunker in place.”

Good luck to those looking and congratulations to those that are already there. :)

“Don’t hesitate to add in - or throw out questions - You will find Granny has a real hospitable place...”

Will do as time permits. I’m looking forward to “learning” because although I was “born country” and we’ve been living a rural life for nearly 30 years, we’re stil learning. :)

“Again, glad you found us. (Oh, did you notice - This is thread # 2 first 10,000 posts address is at the beginning of this one. :^)”

17 odd thousand posts? Yep, that ought to keep me busy for awhile. :)

>>>we’ve been living a rural life for nearly 30 years, we’re stil learning. :)<<<

LOL - The smart people are ALWAYS learning something!

Three generations plus 2 have lived on this land, and you get to know it pretty well, but still learn something every day. Also try a little something different every chance I get to see how it works... Some work - some are big flops... LOL

Some of mine - like my strawberry towers (pictures posted earlier) worked well (except for our danged goat), and others like using my hybrid poplars as live poles for my pole limas was a flop.

But, I keep trying things... (keeps one young)

I have the first 9000 posts of thread #1 in two word files. Now that you guys have found us (or we have found you, LOL), I think I will upload them to YouSendIt and Appleseed can ping his list to the YouSendIt link.

I’m so glad to see you all!!

Welcome to the thread, it is good to find new folks reading it.

Do join in, as you will have much to share with us, during this move and getting set up.

Good luck and do be happy.
