I live in Houston Texas and I have lost the battle to the liberals here in the city. The rest of the state will fall sooner or later. Probably sooner. A nice mountain in the middle of god damned nowhere may be in my future. I'll watch the world tear itself apart from my back porch while drinking a cold beer on a mountain someplace.

The old man who owned 50 acres of land across the creek from me died about a year ago and his widow sold the land recently. The old man used to hunt the land and told me that it was too expensive to build a bridge over the creek to bring in utilities so he never built anything on the land.
The new owners just started building a bridge over the creek. I met them and they seem like good people and are somewhat local, fleeing their subdivision in town. The wife wants to tear down the old fence and cattle gate at our access road and build a new gate with a solar power opener and landscape the entrance. Of course they want me to pitch in.
I told them I'd rather leave it like it is so that passerby's think that mean ass rednecks who don't take shit live back there. They did not appreciate my response.
I'll be polite but I will mostly ignore them for a while. Until I see them "Pitching In" and fixing potholes in the gravel road or clearing a downed tree I'll withhold judgement on them.

Never buy land that has shared Ingress/Egress.
