These forty
acres are within a state game refuge, four miles square -- a buffer against
hunters.
One mile to the south, a general store, a township hall, two dairy farmsteads, people.
Crowded with a tangly glut of trees, vines, stones, stumps-- good for what? To THINK about for one thing; explorations and discovery, for a couple of others.
In short, adventure. $40 for the land plus $55 for the timber: what can you lose? Or win? Ah-ha! A gamble! Hardly, when the records at the county courthouse
reveal that this very land brought $800 in 1917. Of hundreds of parcels in 19 counties, this one ONLY was accessible, wooded, not swamp, near water.
Why has it not already been bought? Released and for sale since 1948. Suddenly, dry mouth, moist hands. Hurry! To the County Treasurer at Pine City. The Deed from the State of Minnesota
conveys to us and our heirs the land,
"to have and to hold, together with all the hereditaments and appurtenances
thereunto belonging or in anywise appertaining ... Forever."
