Looking East and West

My neighbor to the east has been cleaning the land. 
Cut down a few pickup truck loads of trees.
There's almost a daily fire of burning piles of leftover lumber


It's exposing the neighbors trash along many walls


Ants and other bugs are looking for a new homestead.

Not my ideal driving conditions
