Will do....
For Todd: Thanks man, I got the fax of the 716 acre tract of land. Yup... it's exactly where I thought. It's funny too because I was a stones throw from the area last time I was out there looking around and scouting around, and I didn't even realize it!!!
Looks great.... For everyone: I will take Todd's fax and scan it as an image file here at work and then save it on the network drive, then move it to my desktop PC, where I can easily email the image to anyone who wants it.
Butch A.
Edit: All done... Scanned to a .jpg image and also drew details and things. Also, went into microsoft terraserver website and did a snapshop of the topographical map of the area and rough drew the outline of it. PM me for details to the files, and I'll give you the address of them on my website.

Hey guys.... I just got back (8/13 @ 4:50pm). I decided to take the drive out to the hunting tract of land that Todd found. It's true.... It's right there off Route 60 towards Amherst.
I left my house at 1:15pm after grabbing something to eat and a can or two of diet coke for the trip.
I took the new 288 extension around the western end of Richmond, down to Route 60, and let it fly straight on out from there. I arrived at the main gate at 3:00pm. (total drive 1:45 minutes).
I had my old Canon A-1 35mm SLR camera with me to finish up a roll of film. The place is just like how Todd said it was. Clear cuts all over the place. Lumber trails here and there. But there's a lot of nice hardwood trees and small meanderings creek beds too.
The place is extremely easy to get to too. I mean, if you can't find it, then, well... I don't know what to say...

For the size of the place (716 acres) we could a whole crew of VA guys to hunt it and really get a nice club going.
Oh yeah... I know Dave (VASavage270) will tease me about my "antiques" - my old '96 PSE bow and now my "old school" manual focus Canon A-1 camera. Hey it still works and takes great pictures. You all will have to wait for the roll to get developed and then I'll scan the photos.
Take care!

Update again: Hey guys.... I finished the roll of film and went up to Rite Aid to their 1-hour develop thing. I got the photos back and everything is great. There are 6 photos that I took of the tract of land. But I had to cut it short yesterday with the cameraas it was clouding up and was just starting to sprinkle.
Anyway, I am annoyed at myself right now because I can't scan the photos at home.... I have that little USB flatbed scanner and stuff, but where is the CD with the drivers?...in my laptop case at work!!! {Oh yay, way to go Butch!!! Duh!!!!}
[:-]I last used the scanner on my company laptop and left the CD in the case.TOMORROW - I will scan the photos in sequence and will (Edit: email them to anyone who wants them in a zip file).
