Aloha,
I live in North Carolina and finally talked my husband into buying a lot in FFVE. I am the adventurous one and my husband is the couch potato, so it is like pulling teeth to get him to do anything. He is still working but I am retired. I thought it would be neat to live off the grid and try to survive on a meager retirement income. I feel I could do it. I love growing things and I would like to camp on the lot for at least a year to see how I would like it and what I would miss. I like comfort, but do not really need luxurious things. Will I be able to grow citrus trees and tropical fruit up there?
The lot has been lived on and there is a couple cabins and a greenhouse on it, so it would seem camping wouldn't be too difficult. I just may decide to come there by myself and bring my dogs for companions.
Does it flood up there? This lot is near the Forest Reserve at the end of Captains Drive. Any info on this area? I have been reading the Konaweb forum for a while and just found your forum. I love it and I want to be one of those people that come there, enjoy paradise and leave the smallest footprint.
