I moved my last item last night, my rover. With 175,000 miles I was nervous about driving it through the steep hills and such. I pulled the front prop shaft for good measure, checked all fluids and hit the road. I guess I should have more faith in my rig.:rolleyes:

Wow, that's beautiful area. You are literally in BFE as Egypt Ky is about 15 minutes from you. But what are you doing there? If you are looking to grow pot or study Appalchian Highlander in his native surroundings you picked a great spot, otherwise I question your choice. Unless you are rich and want to buy a lot of land for 800 bucks an acre. You can do that there pretty easily. Once you get settled in let me know and we will go wheeling in Harlan.

I've every intention of picking up a large piece of land some day. Most don't see the point, but I'd love to stand on my roof and see a mile of "FUCK YOU!" in every direction. I'll pick up about $10,000 worth of signs that say things such as:

"WARNING! Private Exotic Wildlife Preserve: Beware of Cobras, Vampire Bats, and Poison Frogs!"

"WARNING! Former Land Mine Testing Facility! Look Before You Step!"

Some of what's available out there is pretty great; with nice hills, forests, small lakes, and streams.

You certainly don't have to be rich to afford hundreds of acres of outstanding, either. People pay more for cardboard houses on .5 acres in yuppie neighborhoods.

I can go out there, build another warehouse, and park my ass.

Cheers,

Kennith

My grandmother died dec 10, so the family farm was going to be sold. I stepped up and said that i wanted it. My dream was to own it, and let my boys experience what farm lifestyle is about. I have 63 acres, and my great aunt has @53. I landed a kick ass job at the bluegrass army depot in Richmond ky. My old job senco cut our pay $5.30 an hour. The way times are it was too much of a loss.

You were worried about a pay cut so you have decided to farm in eastern Kentucky? Did you hit your head on anything recently? :D
I hike a lot so I have been all through your area. I usually stay in Slade or I have friends in Beatyville. What are you going to raise?

I landed a sweet job at the bluegrass army depot, highly classified shit! Seriously!
Our pasture fields and hay fields are leased out until November. We plan on doing black Angus again after the lease is up.
