I don't know if I am doing that though. I also found a smaller plot (10 acres) closer to where I am now with a pond on it. Bad thing is it is almost the same price as the 82 acres, but that is about 1.5 hours further out than I am now.
In other news, I sold the Mustang and bought a 2nd truck this weekend. If I am going to do this, it makes more sense to have 2 trucks.
