That could be a consideration, but it would be interesting to discover what they are really up to. Maybe there is a "rare" sagebrush bush or endangered tumble weed and they want to make it a sanctuary!
There was talk about a year ago of building a 10,000 gallon a week alcohol plant to take advantage of all the local grain.............

I may be easy, but I ain't gonna be cheap!

Now that actually makes some sense. There is water, electricity and the NG main. Any zoning changes or variances shouldn't be too hard to get through and..........................you should raise your price to a cool million!

It also brings to mind a debate going on a month or so ago, I think in one of the legislative committee meetings, about the Feds and the State fronting a bunch of money to some big ethanol plant. Some people were really ticked off after the first few attempts ended terribly in failure. I don't think those idiots will ever learn, but it doesn't seem to get the attention that Solindra and others have gotten.

At any rate I suppose our taxes will take another jump and my Shredded Wheat will get more expensive.

I do not fish. But there was a lot of others that were, do not see any being pulled in though.

If I recall that's a no gas motor, fly fish only lake isn't it? Been a long time since I was up there. Seem to remember the reeds and growth along the shore line.

You don't fish!?!...............I don't know if I can talk to you anymore!

Hosmer is a hard lake to fish, I don't doubt you saw nothing brought in.

Did you go by Crane Prairie?.......If so, how was the water level, low?

At least you're a Ford man!

You used to be able to fish it with spinning tackle, with a fly behind one of those clear floats.

They may have given the lake to the purists by now.

Easy there Dave. It's all good. He is a Ford man and if we ever get to have a GTG at a lake, we'll need someone to man the BBQ while the rest of us are out fishing!

That is right; no gas motors, fly fishing only, barb less hooks and a lot of reeds a long the shore.

Well Dave, I do not fish, hunt( animals ), and no country music and I do live in Prineville...lol
