Stan, I'm not sure of the exact time line, but over 50 years ago the topsoil was removed and sand and gravel was sold to the county for dirt roads.
So this property is 22 acres. Some of it is a lake that by a flood in the early 1900's.
When it was a gravel pit nothing was reclaimed. Lots of hills and holes. I made roads and cleared some brush. Asian honeysuckle has taken over along with many other things. In the spring you can find mushrooms.
In the gravel pit is a huge pit I call the fire pit. I only burn it off when there is snow on the ground or when it raining. I don't want to catch anything on fire. When I'm burning it off, you can't see the fire from the road. All you can see are smoke signals I'm sending up. Still waiting for the Indians to reply.
I've been working on reclaiming the property for over 10 years. The gravel pit is our lower yard. It has more flowers than the upper yard. The cool thing is red and white clover is seeding itself and it's better than weeds. It's our private nature center and doubles over as a target range.
