After the property lines are worked out mathematically and iron pins set is when we will have that discussion. It hasn't been surveyed in 150 years. Surveying technology improvements is part of it, but generally over time people forget exactly where the property line is/was. We did some driving on hunting and logging roads. I really enjoy my truck. It now has over 20k miles on it (4 out of our 5 cars have less than ...
