Tum
Tum, Washington(2019)
In
1967 we bought 10 acres of land 20 miles from Spokane in the village
of Tum Tum Tum Tum is a native word meaning heart/soul This is Lake Spokane also called Long Lake Our land is on a ridge overlooking the lake |
|
 |
|
 |
 |
Eagle's
Nest |
Wild Turkey |
 |
 |
 |
|
According
to our map from 1967, our land is over there |
|
 |
|
We know we are close and asked
help from a neighbor He built this house himself |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
The interior is beautiful |
|
 |
|
 |
|
He had a map which included our
plot |
|
 |
|
 |
 |
This
is our road at
the intersection of route 291 |
We
have neighbors! |
|
 |
The road is in very good condition |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| This
neigbor has a beautiful house He owns 20 acres. There is one neighbor between our properties |
|
 |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
|
This house is being built by our
immediate next door neighbor |
|
 |
|
 |
|
That little patch of blue is the
lake We would have a good view if we thinned out some trees |
|
 |
|
 |
|
The stake marks the boundary of
our properties |
|
 |
|
 |
The bush in the clearing in the distance is the dividing line between our 2 properties The photo below highlights a fir tree among the many pines
|
 |
 |
View of Cummings Canyon Way and the access along our properties |
|
 |
 |
2 acres of our land are flat The other 8 extend down to a creek and up the other side |
|
 |
|
Back
down at route 291 by the lake |
|
 |
|
|
|
This
map was on the wall of the pizza place where we had
lunch It shows the roads Cummings Canyon Way and Virgil which border our property |
|
 |
|
When we visited here in 1974, the
Sunset Bay Cafe was here |
|
 |
|
The
road (Route 291) runs very close to the lake in most areas limiting the number of building sites directly on the lake |

This
is the road at the other end of our property (Virgil) |
|

I think that is the telephone pole pointed out by our neighbor as a border of our properties  |
