    not really, you can see it this way:
    you pay $20k an acre for agricultural zoned land (high market value)
    and an extra little $130k for your own backyard pond aahhh cave I mean.

    Every time in my life when I thought that people can't be THAT stupid, I was in for a big surprise.

    FWIW, John is convinced there is a way out of the sink. He may be right, it took about 2 years for anyone to find a way past the Lips at Devils' Eye.

    If it's zoned agricultural I understand that it might be over-priced. However, if you take a ride down the road to some of those one-acre homesites that are already cleared by a developer (R1 zoning), you will notice that the starting price is ~$70K per acre without a house, trees or water.

    So it's all about how the buyer wants to look at the property. I can see both sides to the price issue.

    I often wondered how John was able to so quietly swim into Hornsby-! Perhaps, his sink would explain that. A couple or three guys we all know connected Luralville to the Telford system a few years ago, & a die trace was linked from Mill Creek{Alachua Sink} thru to Hornsby as well. Even though someone said that the flow was moving in the opposite direction from the Santa Fe & Hornsby. Waddya think guys-? Does it go?

    It might generate more interest if there were a survey of the cave. My buddy and I would gladly donate our time to assist them in gaining that information...
