Sawmill Spring Part 2: The Digs

Camping out...I realize I haven't done this for quite a few years. And seldom completely alone, and never quite this far away from civilization in the pitch dark. No lights or amenities of a campground here. But I lived--and in the morning, there's a lot of hard digging to do. The ground is going to fight me every inch of the way. Just another reminder--if you're trying to start a homestead up from scratch, first allow yourself a lot of time to do it, and then assume that something won't go exactly as planned, so you'll have to add on another 50 percent. We'll talk more about expectations next time.
