New Jamestown Subdivision

Today, I decided to do some exploring. There is a new subdivision next to ours (Whispering Cedars) that is going up to the east.

It is called Mesa Ridge Ranch. There's no homes there yet, but I understand that three lots have been sold. It's current state is probably what our subdivision looked like before homes went in.

Most of the side roads have been put in and there are some street signs. Each lot is marked with a lot number and (I'm guessing) how many acres each one contains. It is smaller than ours (we have about 100 residential lots).

I decided that I would explore it after I got the Mustang back. The Beast would have been fine with the interior roads, but I wasn't about to take any chances.

The main road into Mesa Ridge Ranch is called Maverick Road. There are signs indicating that it is horse country.

Supposedly, there is an old abandoned western movie set beyond the locked back gate of the subdivision. I checked online, but haven't found any references to it.

The Second Acre

This morning, I did some wandering around my second acre of land. The walk around was for the purpose of seeing what areas would be suitable for building a storage garage for The Beast. Several areas are promising. But that will the topic of another blog post.

I took some pictures as I strolled around. The acre is relatively flat, despite it being on a hill.

Here's some photos:
