We done did it......!

[Pappy!]

Trafffic is getting a bit worse up here in Lake county. Orlando is moving North and folks from North of us  are moving South. For those in the city the traffic here would be nothing but for Lesa and I? We love country life. Love the house here and we have lake rights as well,but.......
Lesa and I have been looking for a house up on the Suwanee River for several years. Could not find one we liked at all.
Well......
We found a house on the West side of Lake Talquin, West of Talahassee. It is a 10,800 acre lake of which most of the land around the lake is owned by Div. of Forestry. That means that the houses that are there will be it....very few more buildable lots on the lake as well.
We signed final papers on it today.

Great!!!!!! good for you guys

[Pappy!]

Lordy.......the legend his self! Thank you sir.....you know you always have a room at the inn up there anytime you like.

[flsix]

I'm glad you found a place the two of you are happy with.

It gets cold up north

[flsix]

Hey Billy how have you been? It's been a while.

[OLDFRT]

Hope to see the 2 of you at the Tally Rally!!!!!!

[Thunderbolt]

Cool, I know the search has been on for some time.  Glad you found something that fits the bill.  And you can still play in the water when you want.

Congratulations

WOW...two things happened with this post. Pappy & Lesa are moving north, and Billy Boy came out of the woodwork. For me it's been too long since I've crossed paths with those folks...or any of the Florida bunch.

We'd like to rekindle those friendships and spend some time in Fla. during the lovely winter months in Wisconsin but need to find a place within reasonable financial reach. Might even look at the possibility of renting a mobile home, we're not looking for a Tah Mahal...just something comfy.

[Pappy!]

Well John? I will be up your way on Monday....Tomahawk, Wi. until Saturday morning then heading back south to start the drudgery of the move.  Antique Outboard National show and swap meet there in Sarah Park. Come see me!

Is Lesa coming with you, or is she glad to get you out of the house for a week? Might be able to make it up midweek, probably no motel vacancies since this is a national shindig.

EDIT: just had a thought(dangerous)...we're planning on attending the Quad State meet in Holmen, WI (near LaCrosse) on the 4th-5th next week. IF...we could find a place to stay Thursday night in Tomahawk or nearby, we could drive up Thursday and hook up with you, then leave from there Friday for the Quad State thingy.

[Pappy!]

I know that Tomahawk is horrendous to find motel rooms in the Summer.  Keep me in the loop and if it happens great. If not, I understand.

[Farside]

  Sweet and welcome to the Pan-handle‼️ I think you're really going to love the area. I hope you'll be able to make the Tally Rally Casey. 

[_Sheffjs_]

Remember! As you say pics please.  Yes when you land we want pics! Congratulations to you both. I guess the marina will finally stop calling you for your expertise. 

[larue]

Congratulations there buddy

[sixlow]

Should be plenty of squirrels in that area,  I hope the buyers of your old place know what to expect from squirrel traffic..lol Congrats to you  both. 

[Pappy!]

Thank you ALL !!
I am back as of yesterday afternoon from Tomahawk. Will be heading up to the property tomorrow and back home again. Supposed to have a pole barn going up tomorrow for parking. We shall see.  Also coming back tomorrow. 4.5 hours each way.......no rest for the wicked.

[Flrider]

Congratulations to both of you.
The beginning of a new chapter 

[Pappy!]

Couple of pics of the house.
The day after papers were signed we had a 24x36' pole barn/carport put up. It was finished by 4pm the same day!

Here is a pic of one of the sunsets from the house. I had gone up there to cut grass and check the flooring installation.



The house







and the new carport

[John Schmidt]

Very nice, looks quite serene. Great sunset pic, happy for you guys. 

[pocket aces]

WOW!!
Love your new place. That sunset pic is beautiful.
Did you live on a lake before? Everyone is going to know you and your boats n motors on the lake real soon. Have fun   

[Bronxboy]

Happy for u guy's, all the best in the new place. 

[Pappy!]

We have lake rights where we are right now and was born and raised in the Keys then moved to the Bahamas so have been a water baby alll my life. Felt good to get  out on the dock and watch the sun go down again. Come on up and enjoy it sometime!
Thanks Nick, Always have a place for you when we get settled.

[Jims99]

So very awesome. Congrats again. Pictures are relaxing even from here.

[Farside]

  Love it Casey! I see a lot of great gatherings in the near future. I was in Tallahassee today as I get there often so when you're ready let's meet for lunch and then give me the tour. Fun times ahead.

[98valk]

God Bless you guys and your new house. 

My plans are to move somewhere and have a house on a lake.

[flsix]

Wow, that is a beautiful sunset shot from the new place. It looks to be nice and quiet. Perfect spot for a nice brown beverage of choice on the dock at the end of the day. 

[_Sheffjs_]

Looks like a major score!      Looks awesome. 

[Steel cowboy]

Looks great Casey, you guys found your piece of paradise.

[Farside]

Casey, did ya'll have any damage at your place? Water up? 

[Farside]

  I went by Casey's Place  while in Tallahassee this week. I like the sound of that, I bet Lesa friends say Lesa's Place   I Loved it. What a great set up for some really quality time and change of pace that we all want. Great home spot on Lake Talquin seeing a wide section of the lake. I told Casey I'm seeing a Valkyrie Rally visit / cook out. He's got the room. 

[Pappy!]

And the first phase of that 40x60 building is done now as well......gettiing there. We do have the room for sure. Thanks for the kind words!
