I could get one but been burned by that once a few years back up in NE counties, so wasnt real comfortable doing it again. I realize it would be much easier with that in a pic. Id have to figure out how to post pics here, but looking around on the map it seems to be a pretty common feature so I...

The only benches that Ive identified dont have oaks on them. The spot on his land where all the oaks are has a very steep grade and then levels out some, on 4 separate points like a hand/fingers . Still a good slope but MUCH more gradual than above it. Would the start of this lesser grade...

Unless you meant even small hills south facing are good, Im picturing south facing ridges, his land is mostly the...
