Seems the lust for Western land has driven the prices high and put a lot of pressure on the old timers. I was told by a rancher in Colorado that taxes are going up and the old-timers are being driven out. Can anyone confirm that?
Ever hear of Aspen?
Yes, the outsiders moved into Custer County which is just south of Canon City, and they literally took over. Bought up everything they could lay hands on, and got on the county commission then ran taxes out through the roof and broke those who were left. Now the entire county is owned by Texas and California liberal money. Many old people got evicted from their homes because they had no way to pay the taxes. Check out Custer County, its on the web.
