If you can't be there, I guess it is a good thing for you to be able to check in on it every now and then. Hope that there is an early spring in 2014.

And I thought mine was far away being 17 miles away from my house. Great idea on the webcam! I use Lorex cams to "watch" mine when it's at home. Gives me access from anywhere...even on my iPhone!
