Welcome to the blog as we build our home. "Wapiti Woods" has been a project for the last few years; we first saw this property in Nov. of 2005 (the day we first saw it, the neighboring meadow was covered with elk scat). "Wapiti" is a native American word for elk, alternately pronounced "Wah-pih-tie" or "Wah-peet-tee" (which echoes our name), and is translated to "white rump" (as elk appear), or in the vernacular, "white butt". "Wapiti Woods" seemed a natural name for the acreage.
The picture above is the SW corner of our future home. It is also the hemlock tree overlooking the firepit that the Boy Scouts used for their survival campout 2 winters ago, and is probably about to be plowed under within the next week or so. Stay tuned for future pictures of this same site. As the Realtor told us, "It takes vision to see what this property can become".
