9.19- Wed. We have settled in quite nicely and tomorrow we plan to trip over to Newfoundland. We have some land in that area that I foolishly purchased many years ago, and will probably have to die to get rid of it, but nonetheless it’s worth checking it out again since we’re currently in the Poconos. The property is only about a forty minute ride from here so we should be back in no time. Getting back to an earlier story, of ; how can a big coach fit under a low bridge? Simple answer, I don’t know. I googled the height of the coach on the Internet and it is 12.2 feet tall. This could easily fit through a clearance of 12.8 feet. The problem is that we have a satellite receiver up there as well. It comes in with a height of 1.4 feet. So doing the math the coach, assuming the tires are all inflated properly, has a total height of 13.5 feet. What’s the answer; it had to be a miracle. For sure we were praying hard enough. All for now.
9.20-Thurs. Very chilly night last night, temps dropped to 52 degrees. Today would be a field trip day. Only 62 outside so it’s a good day go travel. We’re off to Newfoundland or Sterling, not sure right now, to witness the property we’ve owned since 2006. This property is in the Pocono Springs Estates. We have frontage of 85 feet and go back 200 feet. The front of this property lies in Lehigh County while the back resides in Dreher County. Confusing, I know!
I believe our property begins at the yellow 15 MPH caution sign and extends to the right. All in all it covers 0.41 acres, not very big by how it looks because it drops down a slight slope from the road and is suitable for a very small home fairly close to the road. Being close to the road is not a problem since the road has very little traffic. I would like to see a small log home with a bedroom upstairs with a full basement much like the log home we had in Maggie Valley,
This was our log home back in 2008. Something we’ll never ever have again, since it was close to half million home. Cobbler’s Cabin was only in our lives for a couple of years prior to the recession of 2008. We had to let it go otherwise it would have sunk us. This property in the Pocono area could not support a structure like this even if we could afford it. I still enjoy the memories from that phase of our lives.
The property does go deeper but it slopes off quite a bit which means having and maintaining a back yard is not an option. Additional pictures of this property. Below is a schematic on the properties around us, we own lot #72. For a stretch of half a mile you’ll find only two other properties with homes on them.
Properties here are all part of the Pocono Springs Civic Association. There’s a beautiful lake which I don’t have a picture of, since my battery was dead at the time. If there’s anyone interested in this area this property is for sale at a very good price.
