Finally it has gotten warm enough for me to get out there and begin the first exploration (of many to come) of the multi acre claim that I claimed for the Empire in Georgia. This came after I postponed the same a few times due to cold weather and realized just how thin skinned my time in Florida has made me. Freezing in 70 degrees thin skinned. It also it came after everyone kept telling me for the last month and a half that: “Next week it will be warmer”. Suffice to say, their warm and my warm were two very different things.
So, today, in the nice and warm afternoon sunshine hours I made my first way out there and let me say one thing. Nice. Very nice. And big. Holy smoke, I could not believe how much there is over there. It will likely take us a while to completely cover fully! Pretty too. This will definitely do and I’m sure we can come up with plenty of creative uses and activities involving the area over time in addition to the initial ideas I had. Claiming and solidifying the claim should come easy as well considering we’re close by and can go there at any time with ease.
Already the place looks really promising on a cultural cuisine level for I tasted just one little clover flower and it was delicious. The amounts of plants and nature there is insane; it is a foragers dream covering many acres. Most of the area is hilly and covered by woods, with several grassy fields and pathways leading in various directions. Exploration will reveal if there is stream or pond, none of which is known as of yet. There seem to be many hidden as well as well maintained paths and clearings, however, it was hard to tell from my still limited vantage point today. Over the next few months I’ll be getting over there a lot more often and I’ll be posting more in depth then including pictures, thoughts and potentials for the future. For now a little aerial view, courtesy of google maps.
Google maps has been very helpful; a quick shot of the claim area.
My better half has already agreed to explore the area thoroughly with me over the next few, so this will be an interesting set of adventures. Furthermore since this will be part of the Empress’s regular cardiovascular exercise routine for summer slenderizing purposes you can bet that I’ll be there a lot. Like three times a week often.
If claim validity depends solely on number of visitations and occupation of said claimed area, we’ll have this one in the bag.
