Especially when you start buying those well-known "green" eyepieces!
... but you don't NEED to own Uncle Al's products to have great views.
Yes they are.Funny , we own 12 acres of land.We are in/on the Connnecticut River Valley in N Haverhill NH. The thing is,basically the whole valley is sand from the many 100s of years the river has flowed thru here.So,from the road all the way up to where the trees start in my back yard (about 4 acres and 600 ft from road) there is nothing but sand.I mean like beach sand as far down as you can dig.Once you hit the back woods and the land goes up hill in a hurry, you get in to the stones,well,as you can see, more like boulders. There are some as big as a car out back and there are many,many of them.So,as I said,the front of the land you cannt find a stone,get out back and wammy.There really is a very distinct line. So, all the stones,rocks,boulders have to come from the woods and I go get them with the tractor.Some of them have been a real bear trying to get out of the ground and into the tractor bucket.If I had a backhoe attachment it would make it soooooo much easier to at the least get them extracted from the earth. It is alot of work per.say,but I love doing it and I specialy love the end results.When we bought this place there was NOTHING but a stone driveway going to the front of the house. Front yard was sand and the back was sand with crab grass and thornes and just junky crappy stuff that grows in sand. We been there 10 yrs this Jan 2012.What a differents 10 years of landscapping makes.We now have many rock gardens, planted flowering trees,shade tress,bushes, nice lawns,veggie gardens,Blueberry bushes,Black berries, ect. They are spread out all over the place and if I say so myself..it looks AWESOME and is very relaxing to take a stroll around the place now and visit the gardens and such. Anywhoo- thats my other hobby (if ya call it a hobby more like a passion I guess?)besides rockets.
I like watching the students here at Dartmouth College
