Like I said, I've never seen anything like it. I'm renting a house up here in North Palm Beach and sometimes I drive over to Okeechobee on the weekends. Thirty minutes west and you're in a whole different world. Plenty of horses and cows and lots of open spaces. Real Florida Cracker country. I like it out there.

Why don't you sell out down there and look some property between Okeechobee and Ocala? It's some nice country from what I've seen.

Have you seen any of the bumper stickers around Miami that say, "Will the last American out bring the Flag", or something to that effect. I've seen one.

Mornin' Hair! :-D

Cowboy - I'm kinda stuck right now. Single mom - 2 kids, supporting my mom too since my dad walked out on her 3 years back. She watches the girls so I can work and pay the bills.

The house is under my mom's name and she doesn't want to move and I can't really save enough to go on my own (I pay everything on my one meager income), so I've decided to wait until both of my girls are in school and old enough to handle a move into the country.

Two more years at least since my youngest is almost 3.

I've waited this long though, so I'll just keep looking forward and praying that prices stay reasonable in rural FL and that the sprawl doesn't reach there too.
