No, unfortunately I live in western Washington and have 117 acres in the foothills in Columbia County, Washington. Probably move over sooner or later. Right now have two precious granddaughters that we babysit as my youngest daughter lives near us. Still fun as I go over quite a bit to put in food plots, etc. Last year made 13 trips....working, turkey hunting, deer hunting, etc.
