*NOTE: I originally wrote this post on February 6, 2020. I have been trying to find out if the sale has indeed gone through or not, since I figured some budgets may have been cut due to Covid-19. Still haven't found out anything.

I couple of elderly gents who were extremely nice the one time I met them riding on their property many years ago. It touches my property on one back corner. Here is a map from PG Atlas with the areas shaded:
