Dress Defensively

Had some folks from the sunny shores of Florida up here last week on an 80 degree sunny day that interspersed itself between all the stormy days Lightning. They were here to see lots. I always recommend walking as much of a property as is possible.......the only real way sometimes to get the lay of the land.......and they had indicated that this was what they wanted to do. My suggestions for long pants, sturdy boots and possibly long sleeves was ignored as they showed up in flip flops and shorts.

Raw land often means blackberry and raspberry (mmmm...mmmm...good) briars (ouch) , thick underbrush, cedar saplings, wild roses (ouch, again) and such.  Being that ticks and chiggers ALSO like brush a lot, an encounter with them is not a certainty but is a possibility (not to mention an occasional poison ivy or Virginia creeper plant) and prospective buyers should dress defensively.
