so when do you finally finish movin out west with the women there dennis?

 

Here I sit, all broken hearted, wanted to move but couldn't get started. That all fell apart into a blaze of money wasted. She moved out there for 2 months and realized that everybody wasn't lyin to her. You gotta be a damn millionaire to have any kind a life out there. Gorgeous area, good people and she liked the job. But even makin a very nice amount of money it still wasn't enough to be able to afford to live the way she was accustomed to here. She is deffinately not one to lower her standard of livin. So I took a train out there, rented a Ryder truck and loaded her truck and everything else in the back of it and headed home.

Here we sit. We still wanna go someplace just don't know where again. The economy is startin to make big swing as far as property prices again and they are comin down, so hopefully that will open up some new markets to us.

 

Head to GA..... it's cheap.... there aren't many sheep..... plenty of trucks..... plenty of farms...... there aren't many sheep........ we got the world of Coke........ Sixflags and Wild Adventures theme parks......... there aren't many sheep....... Tallahassee is an hour from me......... there are plenty of jobs........ did i mention there aren't many sheep......

 

I was wondering what ever happened to ya. You were gone for the longest time with the big debacle of when you went out the first time. And now it's all for naught. Oh well. I'm thinkin of moving to wyoming when I get out of college. I ain't skeered of the sheep...I am scared of the winds though. Saw a five gallon bucket that was pushed through a barbed wire fence...the wires were less than a foot apart.

 

Don't let Whit fool ya, Wyomings some high dollar livin to. We went out there for an interview to. If you stay down low in the Southern part lands and livin cost isn't bad, but it's all nasty lookin desert scrub stuff and not a tree in sight. If you get North some ways it's get's nice, but the price goes way up to match it. In the end it will probably end up bein Missouri, Wisconsin or Montana unless somthin else comes aong.

AND I HATE SHEEP, Horses are a sexier, and moo cows are easier to catch.

 

Yea...I was thinking about moving to the Cheyenne area. There's a Hereford farm that's selling 40 acre plots right on a little stream...nice lush grass. Put up a greenhouse and start growing vegetables. Stayed with a cousin and decided to make meatballs...had to by green bell peppers...paid 4$ for one pepper...I'm used to 4 for a dollar down here. I'mma go up there and make a killing.

 

They cost that much up there cause you can't grow em there. Don't believe all the advertising. That little stream is a dry bed that runs for a few days WHEN it rains. Their advertising say that they sell minimum 40 acre lot's, most are larger and they start out at I think about $2000 per acre if I remember right. The $2000 per acre property is empty crap land, it goes as high as $14,000 per acre for the decent stuff. A long time ago it may have been a Hereford farm, but now it's a realestate developer that when we talked to the office had 4 different parcels of land around the Wyoming area developing them all like this.

Now let's get to the Land Tennents you have to follow once you buy. No more then 2 head of animal per acre, a limit on the number of buildings you can put up, they have to approve home plans before construction can start and very few of the properties are directly accesible by improved roadways. This means dirt paths through right of ways on other peoples properties and right of ways through yours also.

Ya we looked at those to, cause they seemed like a good deal from the advertising. All of the Western States are in a serious growth boom right now. Everybody wants to be a cowboy ya know. So developers are catchin suckers that have never lived in the country before and sellin em all this crap land with no water and access and chargin a fortune for it. The buyers don't know any better until it's to late.

If you take notice of Lostnwalmart's avatar, look at the background. That's what the whole southern side of the state looks like. Go north it's a fantastic sight to see but normal folks can't afford it.

 

No I've been to the hereford farm, seen the creek, seen the cows, granted it's nowhere near as big as it was (from the mountains between cheyenne and laramie almost 50 miles into nebraska, forty miles south into Colorado and 40 miles north of cheyenne.) But it's there. We didn't really look into prices that much. But it was the people who owned the now smaller hereford farm. I don't know where you checked out but w/e.

As far as produce...I know how to grow all that stuff. I could grow some mean tomatoes and sweet corn up there. The other more temperate stuff I would grow in the greenhouse during the winter months.

 

Good luck to ya dude. I've made that trip across there about 8 times back and forth now and since this damn drought started I haven't seen a drop a water except where the snow was meltin. I do know the Hereford farm your talkin about if it's right along I-80, they still have signs up advertising it.

The place I'm talkin about is an old cattle ranch that sold out becuase of the drought. I think they were callin the Buffalo Ranch now and sellin off parcels of it.

 

yea I think there is a shamrock gas station at the on-ramp by the place. Do you know where the big TA is before cheyenne on 80? the next house down from the TA is my uncles. Used to be a huge sunflower farm from what I hear...i dunno. We might move up north of there. He moved out there and started workin at the home depot in cheyenne, then got transferred to gillette, he just now got transferred to a new store in sheridan. So...if he'll ever stop jumpin around. Oh yea when we were up there pops still had the 2001 1500 with the 318...that thing got like four mpg better up there. I could definitely deal with that.
