RB,
Your spot sounds like it has great potential. You may want to check the DRN rules. Here in WI they get very strict when it come to �wetlands,� natural streams and anything to do with natural habitat and water. There has been more that one case when land was purchased but it took many years of red tape to change it from a mosquito pit to a useable BOW. Hopefully where you are looking has not gone to that extreme.
