I could never live in the middle of no where :-/

Looks peaceful though  :)

Is that Missouri? One of my Aunts lives in NW Missouri and it looks a little like that.

It's the upper penninsula of Michigan.  The farm is actually my aunts too, I didn't take any of my parents farm except for the hay field.  It's only a 15 minute ride into town (Escanaba) so you aren't too far from reality.

...I would never have thought! :o

These are very scenic and majestic photos. Must be a nice place to relax with the family and get a way for a little while.

Love the Farm!!

My Grandparents owned a farm and they had 11 kids.  More to spread the work around.  Only a few of my Aunts and Uncles went on farming.

I used to love visiting their farms!!

Where's the old tractor? :D


The old car and one of the tractors  ;)  We also have 3 more oldy cars and about 6 classic tractors but we didn't have time to haul them all out.  The girls are my little sisters.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
