Beautiful place would love to have it. I doubt my fixed income for the rest of my life would by that one though. RTR!

Maybe you need a larger collection plate. RTR

I bet they got they made an error on the sq Footage of this $100,000 property--22,000 sq. ft.  maybe:

  ???

I dont understand where the value is.

i don't think there is anybody in Wyoming.  If you go there you will have the whole state to yourself.  That is the only state that has never sent a single visitor to this site.  We've had visitors from 99 different countries, but 0 from Wyoming.

+100 e-creds if one of you guys buy the pacle and move out there to become our first Wyoming member.  :)

I am applying to several phd programs and one of them is in Wyoming.  It's a tough one to get into though.

Tractor scholarship?

:fingers crossed:

I vote we all chip in and buy it together. The CRS Ranch, satellite to get all the Bama games, land for smitty to clear off, no alternator stealers within miles ..... 8)

The reason land is so high out west is because the federal govt. owns 650 million acres ( 30 % ) of all America. Mostly in ten western states. Since debt crisis, there has been some talk out of Washington DC about selling off some Fed land. Feds own 42% of Wyoming.


The United States government has direct ownership of almost 650 million acres of land (2.63 million square kilometers) – nearly 30% of its total territory. These federal lands are used as military bases or testing grounds, nature parks and reserves and indian reservations, or are leased to the private sector for commercial exploitation (e.g. forestry, mining, agriculture).

They are managed by different administrations, such as the Bureau of Land Management, the US Forest Service, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the US Department of Defense, the US Army Corps of Engineers, the US Bureau of Reclamation or the Tennessee Valley Authority.

 The top 10 list of states with the highest percentage of federally owned land looks like this:

Nevada           84.5%
Alaska            69.1%
Utah               57.4%
Oregon           53.1%
Idaho              50.2%
Arizona           48.1%
California        45.3%
Wyoming         42.3%
New Mexico     41.8%
Colorado          36.6%

You are right Coach, land values around Jackson are highly inflated simply because there just isn't a lot of private land. Plus it is one of the most beautiful places in the US. If it weren't for the cold winters, I would live there but just can't take the sub-zero temps. One drawback to living there is it is very crowded in the summer, over 3.5M visitors come through Jackson each summer.

Oh...smithgeneral...if Bootyess could get accepted to a graduate program in Wyoming...so can you.  ;D

Did I get the name right on that infamous TS poster?  He was my favorite poster of all time.  I will always wonder about his real identity.  Did anybody ever know?

Jackson Hole area is one of the most beautiful places in all God's creation!

Son ad D-I-L have lived there for 3 yrs, I vsited April a yr ago..went fly fishing on the Snake, and now I am ready to go on to my reward.

Son has lurked here a few times, I will ask him to join so we can claim the state fro Crimson Red Sports!

Now that would be cool.
