Apocalyptic Wasteland

Raw farm land that has just been logged. It will be the future sight of an organic farm.Learn more about this land:If you are looking for an authentic camping experience, meaning all you have is your gear and your wits, then this would be the spot for you. The property has recently been cut by a logging company so the terrain is very rough and full of trip hazards, so you assume the risk. Perfect spot to shoot an end of the world movie...LOL.

This is a picture from the middle of the property looking toward the road.

A short walk down the wooded trail brings you to a small clearing with a central fire pit and several areas suitable for a tent. Situated close to a road, traffic can be heard but easily tuned out, particularly as the road gets much quieter at night. The woods are next to a large open field that is great for star gazing.  Bring your hammock!
