On July 26th, 2014, Carole and I purchased 3.75 acres of ground in Brown County IN that included a vintage (and thoroughly dilapidated) mobile home. The property is situated on state route 45, 10 miles east of Bloomington IN. Approximately 1 acre is flat with 230 feet of highway frontage, the remainder of the ground is a steep downhill grade of old growth hardwood trees. The back property line abuts the Hoosier National Forest. Was perusing a detailed map of Brown County and discovered our specific location along highway 45 is known as: Howard Ridge, which seemed like an appropriate name for this blog.
