Mourning I believe you. I just may be there soon. Here in Maryland I have been working at this old abandon racetrack (owner rep/business partner) since 1985. It is 42 acres with over 1000 ac of open space surrounding the property. The whole track of land backs up to the putuxant river watershed. Though we have done everything in this world to resurrect this place from a shopping center to a transportation center and the last stab to reopen the racetrack for highway avoidance anti-terrorist, driver training course. (I’m former police still working with them as a civilian). We have been using this place as our/my own hunting preserve. Since I stated working at this place we cleaned in up opened the drainage areas planted wild rice, Milo and spots of corn throughout the property. Our marsh, which is apx 680,000 ft square, has come alive with waterfowl and aquatic life. We now have beavers and they have done what I could never do with a backhoe. The resident Canadians have already started paring off and making nests. What a site when an established couple stakes their claim to their territory, what a fight. It is so good to see what we have accomplished with this old place by preserving it and bringing it back to natural life. Well as the faiths have it we are at our last straw and the owner needs to sell the property. To be with one place for so long, when that day comes I will defiantly be in mourning.
