Often rural land buyers walk for sale vacant land without real estate agents. These individuals see for sale signs out in the middle of nowhere or close to the middle of nowhere and decide to leave their vehicles to walk some of the “dirt.” Unfortunately, walking the high desert dirt requires vigilance.
For example, out here in NW AZ, Mohave County, Golden Valley, AZ there are numerous holes in the ground. These are homes to ground squirrels that look more like chipmunks from my perspective.
Often there are numerous holes within a short distance. These holes soften the surrounding dirt and one can find himself or herself suddenly standing in a hole from 3 to 6 or more inches deep. And in that hole is not a ground squirrel but a legless and often dangerous critter, a venomous snake because snakes can’t dig holes. Snakes use these ground squirrels’ homes as their own nesting or resting places.
Additionally, some folks view the high desert as flat. That is a misnomer. The topography of the high desert is undulating ground. This coupled with rocks, lots of rocks from small to big plus vegetation with sharp thorns makes walking vacant land potentially dangerous. Also driving dirt roads one also finds lots of rocks and washes where the road suddenly goes down 6 inches to even 3 more feet.
For those wanting to walk for sale vacant land or even take a hike in the high desert of NW AZ, please be vigilant. Watch for those holes, vegetation with thorns and other critters so you can stay safe.
P.S. Please consider checking out my Facebook business page, The Grit and Gratitude Agent that will focus on the Dirt Roads in Mohave County as well local real estate, lots of dirt or vacant land parcels as some of the local attractions.
