I love my doggies.

I know that the militarization of the police and the War on Drugs are big issues. If "BLM" had addressed those issues in the broad sense, there could be discussions. When it became "Black Lives Matters," it changed into a purely race issue and people tune out. It is human nature. And, the first shooting that started BLM turned out to be a justified one.

Though often in different ways, Hispanics suffer at the hands of police, so do whites. Both are larger populations in the U.S. than blacks, so why set up a group that, in title, seems limited to one race?

Also, the presentation seems to be a lecture rather than a discussion. I used to use the lecture approach on social issues that were important to me - until I figured out that it was a complete waste of time and was ineffective.

National Forest or National Park inholdings are pretty awesome - private land in the middle of a national park or forest.

I've looked at a few, but utilities were a huge challenge (and expense). None of them were particularly expensive.

Even Yellowstone Park has some inholdings.

Edit: The best tracts are the ones wedged against hard to access national forest/park property (where the only ready access to the national park/forest property is through your property.

You also have to be very careful when buying property out there. From my limited experience, many of the development properties are not particularly desirable tracts.

I looked at a beautiful valley property wedged between two smaller mountains - then I found out it was in a Superfund Site. I went out to a Colorado property near the Motherwell Ranch - it had a giant power line running through a key area.

I got your email.

These other posters get too worked up over a lunch. :LOL:

Dallas area - I'm supposed to go to an event in New Orleans in late October (for what that is worth).

I do not want to end up chopped up in the trunk of your car. :LOL:

I'm looking in both Colorado and N.M. I will probably hire someone to caretake the property.

I looked at this place (actually went out to the ranch). It was overly improved for what I want, but it also was very wet for that part of Colorado. The problem: an average of 400 inches of snow. I love to ski, but managing that much snow was going to be a problem (or require a lot of winter help).

Why is every racial analysis limited to black and white? What about Asians and Hispanics?

The War on Drugs and militarization of police are legitimate and important topics.

All this who kneels and who doesn't kneel is such a waste of time. Who cares? Everywhere you go, everything is about the kneeling issue - far more coverage than North Korea or the terrible damage to PR.

I can't help you other than to wish you good luck and I hope you find what you are looking for.

But if you do buy a property with a lot of elk, i'd be happy to buy one of the landowner tags from you. I'm sure several others would as well.

Thanks for the good wishes. I love to watch elk in the wild (and have no objections to elk hunting). My uncles each have pretty large tracts and I know they receive a number of elk tags. I wouldn't sell any tags I'd have, I'd give them to people I know.

I looked at a conservation property in Colorado that bordered on two huge hunting ranches. The owners did not allow any hunting, and I saw a lot of elk. It was almost as if the elk learned to go where they weren't being hunted.

I keep trying to come up with some questions to ask you, but they always sound insane, shallow, etc.

I am low maintenance but, according to some, there are some theories I believe in that are "out there" - ancient aliens being one of them.

After all, you never know :LOL:
