When I first looked at the property my friend wasn't sure exactly which one it was, since it was surrounded by vacant land and not marked in any way. Before the survey I took my kids camping in the area, though we didn't know which parcel we were interested in. Later after closing I found the ashes from our campfire, almost center of the property. I had a driveway cut in, but didn't have funds to compact it or add engineered fill, so I had a really soft sand driveway. I put a used RV at the back of the property and found that I could drive in and out as long as I didn't try to turn around because I would get stuck. For the first several weeks I was forced to back out 800' to leave. After a couple of snows and driving over the wet driveway it finally compacted and that problem was solved.

That is an interesting tidbit. We are taught to think that we can't understand distances and measurements and angles and whatnot, but goes to show you that some of us have a real good sense of direction.
