Incredible right. I say sell it to the state for 80 million and be done with it.

Looks like Todd the Texan has been having eyes on it.

I lived in Austin for a year. I think it was in 1994. I had a blast!

Around the river and some of the gulf coast is livable sometimes.

The ADK is well regulated so I doubt that will happen. They do need more businesses to come in so I hope something actually happens. There's an issue going on inside the blue line that isn't getting much attention. It's getting harder and harder to raise a family. Schools are closing and what schools are still there are seeing class sizes dwindling. Radical obstruction groups like Protect the Adirondacks must be stopped. They, and groups like theirs, have stopped at nothing to halt any economic growth inside the blue line. They won't be happy until it simply becomes a playground for the wealthy. That is not what defines the ADK.

Yep
I wouldn't want to move back, but I had a great experience! I mean no open container law, guns blazing, and great Tex Mex

Yup, but good luck with that.
