Dick, I have been there too. I bought 35 acres 2 years ago. Don' t worry, you cannot go wrong buying land. There is a limited amount of land so you won' t or should not loose money. My property gives me a place to hunt deer, and go to on the weekends. I was never a turkey hunter but this spring I tried it for the first time. I got a 19# tom with an 11.5" beard. I also found I have an abundance of Murrells. Neither the turkey hunting or the mushrooms were even a thought when I bought the land; they were welcome perks I did not expect to get. Wait till you settle in, then first time you hunt your stand and realize that this is your land. You will feel very happy.

Congratulations!
Bill
