Beautiful... Miss Tina and I would love a place like that except too many stairs and too cold. :D. If the neighboring town is home to St. Croix fly rods... I'm guessing the fishing is good up your way. Now I'm really :mrgreen: . Shooting, fly fishing, and peace and quiet... Score!
Fishing might be good but the hunting is even better. Everything I need is on the first floor. When I become to old to climb the stairs I can make the sun room into a bedroom. The laundry and one bathroom are on the ground floor.

I only shoot predators, which is why hunting slipped my mind. (Coyotes, etc.). Miss T was a life long hunter, however, and you might still find her in a deer blind. I hunted as a youngin... But after my time in the Corps, I chose to stick to rifle and pistol matches. I shot a lot of both, and taught a lot. :D Don't mind others hunting, just lost the desire. ;)
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

The fishing up here is really outstanding. The area is internationally known for its musky fishing. This is musky country, big time.

I have a coyote pelt I shoot in the early 70’s. It’s been in a closet all these years. I just took it out of the motor home and was thinking of displaying it.

There sure are a lot of lakes around here. There is one on my neighbors property. It’s an acre at the most and can’t be very deep.

You are only just over an hour away from my Niece in Couderay. Will have to keep that in mind if I go to visit her.
