You could be a Moon Shiner out in her neck of the woods.

Actually that was the old days. I have a car in my stream, which is silted up to the steering wheel. The story is that the old farm house next door was a moonshiner shack and one day the guy was being chased by the feds and ran off the road through my property (which then was a cow pasture) and into the stream.

The guy that lives in the farm house now is a guy I went to college with. He raises beef cattle, but that's just a hobby. He's a cameraman, he operates a 35mm movie camera on about five features a year and shoots commercials the rest of the time. Oddly enough, a lot of feature length films are shot here in Maryland because I guess that even the entertainment industry thinks California is expensive. My neighbor is laughing his ass off because he makes as much money as some Hollywood cameramen make (its a union job) works as much as he wants to but he lives here instead of California which costs him next to nothing. Those cows on his eight acres qualify him for agricultural tax rates (he pays about $85 a year in property taxes) The house maybe cost $130k fifteen years ago. If he sold to a developer he'd get a million for the property.
