Hi friends!

Not ENTIRELY sure where to start.
I am wanting to buy a small piece of land in Michigan.
Long story short, my mom had a big history project and found that our ancestors essentially owned and settled much of one of the counties there.

I am wanting to buy a small sliver of land and create some kind of park in the next couple years.
I know there is gonna be a learning curve to it.
It can't be a commercial property, it needs to be zoned properly, ect.

I also know that I might need to put boots on the ground to find the RIGHT property.

Also would need to reach out to some groups that could help maintain the area since I live out of state (4H, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, VFW, ect)

I do not expect this to happen overnight. But I am really excited about this passion project of mine.
Any tips? Tricks? Podcasts?

I already have a map of the area. I already know what I am looking for in general, and some of the spots that I see I could actually pay for in cash.

Thank you!

Has anyone volunteered at the Dallas BMW Marathon?

Any experiences?

Running my first half marathon on November 1st.

Is running a second half marathon 6 weeks later too much? Wanting to run with a friend.

Im not new to running. Though this is my longest run that I am training for.

Fairly active with cycling, hiking, yoga ans strength training. So i do not have a sedentary life.

My 12 year old son is obsessed with space.

Is there any address where he can send letters and get a good chance of a response back?

It does not have to be JUST NASA. Could be anyone or anything space related!

Trying to keep his penmanship kept up and get him excited!

Thank you!

Has anyone done the Dallas Run Club's Half Marathon?

I am planning my first half.

Originally I was gonna do the BMW Dallas Half in December, but it is way out of my budget.

I cam across the DRC Half, and it's within my budget.

Any feed back on it?
