Ted, selling that private land(like Lowell's) could have a bonus of a fine piece in the makings. Altho', the land isn't for sale to date - it could be, if the right offer comes in.
No public land can make you that deal!
No matter what's going on in the world, land is far better than gold. A perfect place for a bunker, when "Takin'it to the streets" time comes.
