Dumb f'n hillbillies. What do they know? 1/2 acre of 30% grade of 1/2 rock lot in western NC around Boone fetches 50-100k with no municipal water / sewer. Go figure. I've seen asking prices of $750K for 1.5 acres bottom land in Banner Elk with a crappy view of Grandfather.

We got plenty of natural gas in the Appalachians now...it's all in the heads of the tourons, real estate speculators, and folks that use to live in Silicon Valley until taxes went through the roof.

I know a guy in WV who has a natural gas well on his property. He quit farming and just lives off the money from it. He also gets free natural gas for the house.

Now was that really necessary? My family happens to own the mineral,oil and gas rights to several thousand of these acres. The gas companies have been beating our doors down for a couple of years now. We've been holding their feet to the fire. It seems the ball is in our court.
