Dean, I don't go back to my home state of Virginia (where I grew up hunting on the coastal peninsula near Williamsburg) because all my old haunts are now town houses or theme parts -- much like what you describe. But, you still have your grouse camp and your Grace to share it with. May our coverts and birds last through our lifetimes.
