Convinced that you can find a better piece of land, you continue to search. After going nearly a week without finding a better piece of land, that plot of land by Gavin's Creek turned out to be the best land available.
You return as quickly as you can, hoping it was not already taken, but your indecision allowed someone else to claim it before you. Day after day goes by as you looked south, east and west of Gavin's Creek for your own piece of land. Finally, nestled in a valley is a site suitable for farming and ranching. You decide to claim this land immediately, and mark out your 320 acre allotment. Now you can start building a home, and if you're lucky you can have it finished before winter threatens.
