My home is quite isolated.&nbsp;There are only 4 other houses in the 240 acre woodland with a mile private gravel road to it&nbsp; I am surrounded by the Shenandoah National Forest and 3,500 acres of the Smithsonian Biological Research Institute, part of the Smithsonian in Washington DC. The National Zoo in Washington DC, next to my DC home uses the Front Royal land to raise hay, straw, bamboo for the pandas, etc. and they keep their endangered species there. I do pro bona IP work for the&nbsp; Friends of the National Zoo (FONZ). </span></span></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family:tahoma"><span style="font-size:small">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Olmstead family (known for Central Park New York and the National Zoo in Washington DC) keep a couple hundred acres adjacent to me for hunting.&nbsp;The Appalachian Trail goes by Bear Ridge.&nbsp;</span></span></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family:tahoma"><span style="font-size:small">&nbsp;</span></span></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family:tahoma"><span style="font-size:small">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For pictures go to PORTFOLIO at the top of the home page then to Residences immediately below, or to the right and click on the picture labeled Residences.</span></span></div> </div> </div> </font></td> </tr> </table>
