McClellans To Close

[John Berry]

The problem has always been that the property was worth milloins because it was absolutely the best fly fishing water in Arkansas and they were only getting five bucks a head.

[SilverMallard]

Exactly my point, John. So long as everybody could take advantage of the McClennan's generosity and hospitality, it wasn't actually worth what it should be. Real estate is only worth EXACTLY what someone is willing to pay you for it TODAY. The McClennan's were wise to shut off the cheap access. Now that value will quickly become what it SHOULD be.

If YOU owned a property like that and you could work your butt off for $5/head, or you could day lease it to famous guides and outfitters for TV shows and videos and celebrity type trips for $5,000/day for 1 party, which would YOU prefer? Or say you could swap a few days of fishing your property for 2 weeks in a beachfront condo in Hawaii and a few days of private charter saltwater fishing...which way would YOU go with it? I think about 90% of us would lock the gates and hang the no trespassing signs. Break out the purple paint, Billy Bob, mama wants to go to Hawaii!
