    Get some light weight long sleeves to protect from mosquitos and check every night for ticks. Both can be plentiful in the woods. Welcome to my home state. I've lived all over but always knew I'd be back here.

      Mosquitos bite through my denim shorts, so doubt long thin cotton sleeves would stop them, I'm a few miles north of the state line in the Missouri Ozarks so pretty much the same sort of countryside. On ticks, check often!!!

    Looks like you guys have some good sized trees there. If I come out with the mill you could probably have enough lumber there to build some pole barns. A skid steer or tractor would help a bunch.
    The road looks like it mainly needs a ditch cut in. Hit me up at the meetup. I can totally come out and help with clearing logging and milling. I lived in cave city Ar. For several years of my childhood we wore bare feet not snake boots. Don't worry to much about snakes. Just don't leave your boots outside and be aware. They usually don't bite unless you step on them. Their not aggressive like cotton mouths. And black snakes help keep the copper heads away. Although I don't like any of em. I think its awesome what you guys are doing.
