Dry Pond with Oak

A typical view of oak woodlands...this is what I just bought on the Lower Lake side of Cache Creek. It is a beautiful piece of property, 15 acres plus three additional lots or parcels, so size is probably closer to 18 acres.
It has three access points, all at dead ends on three different roads, and has two creeks on the other borders.
I am thrilled on the 32nd anniversary of moving to Lake County and buying almost the same size parcel then, to be in somewhat the same situation. It isn't virgin land by far, it has been inhabited over almost two centuries, but it is as close as I am going to come at this point, to a rare beautiful piece of land in an almost urban setting. My dream is to keep it as pristine as possible with perhaps a wildlife viewing platform, and maybe a small home. Both of those options are far down the road. Right now, I want to secure access, so no motorized vehicles enter and further disturb the land. I know some driving will be necessary as there is work to do, but keep it to the minimum is my idea.
I will keep posting photos for different aspects as I discover them. Right now, with the kitchen remodel going on, and life in general, I have fighting for time to get over there. Saturday I will kayak over in the morning. That is the fastest way to Toad Hill.
