Chet Crosby and his wife Bonnie own a 71 acre parcel of land in Owasco, NY in Cayuga County. The property is rectangular and drops about 100 feet over the course of a half mile. The land was farmed up until the 1970's and fence posts are evidence of this even in the area that Crosby considers the most mature woodlot. The topography of the land gives it four distinct sections each about 15 acres. Currently the top 15 acres of the property is leased to a farmer who is using the land for a hayfield. Thetop, 15 acres is the only tillable land. The property features an esker and diverse soil types and therefore different plants and tree species. The couple lives about three miles from the property, which even though it is near housing developments still feels secluded.
