It's the American Dream IMHO. Owning land is all I've ever wanted, wealth wise. When I was young if I knew two men, one had a million $ in the bank and just a average house in town, and the other had 1000 acres of land (or however many acres made a million $ at that time), the man with the land was RICH. The other guy just got a paper in the mail each month with numbers on it. Pfffffftttt on that.

I've got a small tract in Baldwin County (which will soon be for sale), my wife and her sister have one in Polkville, MS and my children have a place in Mt Vernon. The way I look at things we're loaded, lol. My wife doesn't see it that way. She just sees a tax bill at year end.
