itsbetteroutdoors, where is the location in your pic? is it somewhere alone that line?

 

[PAN AM HOBO]

yea sure is!
if you keep going east on the track you will see two big hills across the river i'm hoping to build at the top a small cabin or get a cabela's canvas outfitter tent with stove but it's very expensive it would have solar panels that would be free for power water would be three independently solar powered water pumps to a 100-200 gallon plastic barrel for storage
the campsite has been their for 20 years untouched since 1996-1997
