Cyndi and I had made arrangements to purchase the property, but it really wasn't ours yet. I called the land owner and asked if we could spend the weekend on the land and he said for sure because it was really ours - the paperwork just hadn't been finished yet. A major flood (what the locals were calling a "500 year flood") had just come through, but we decided we'd go out there anyway. We packed a tent and went out on our first camping venture to the land. Along the way there were several roads that had been washed away, but none that prevented us from making it out to our spot.
