The property is actually two separate pieces. One half (with the house) is accessed from highway 21. The other half is due east, but there is a small piece of forest service land between the two pieces. The eastern piece, known as American Flats, is surrounded on 3 sides by steep cliffs and has Canada as it's northern boundary. We hired a forester to evaluate the property and create our Forest Management Plan (which was just approved by the county! yea!). These are some of her photos.
American Flats - the view from the top of the cliff. The straight line at the left of the photo is the US-Canada border. The property to the right (meadow & trees, partway up the cliff) is all ours!

Nice cliffs, huh? We're working to determine how to best get access to this property. Right now, it's hiking only. Before 9/11, the previous owners were able to go up into Canada and access the property from the north. After 9/11, that became impossible. So, the field has sat fallow since then--the trees are starting to take over again.

Since there is forest service land in between, there is only one answer:
A tunnel, excavated with huge amounts of explosives.
Let me know when you're ready to start because I want to detonate some of it! :-)
Learn to fly a plane and jump out (with a parachute of course). Just think of the fun the boys will have. ~smile~ I know my boys would be all for it!
This is so beautiful :-}
