Well.... maybe,if it is ever finished,I am 53 and doubt is I will ever see the day that I can drive it to moorefield.

I worked on the first section when it was going the Bowden route, it stopped at Bowden in 1976 and will never go any further.
I only live about 3 miles from where it now ends at Kerens and I will almost bet that as with Bowden in another 25-30 years that will still be dead ended there.

What you said about land prices is absoutely true, but housing has also gone the same path, houses all over Randolph and Barbour counties have doubled or trippled in the past 10 years.

I just bought 5 1/2 acres of level woodland with cabin and brooke trout stream running thru it and paid 3,000 per acre.
I think it was a good buy!
It is secluded with good timber and bordered by wesvaco which I have leased (140 acres)
The smaller the tract the more you will have to pay/acre.

Land here is starting now at 1000 per acre and the sky is the limit.

I also have the above land for sale as I have recently bought another tract that I like better,but the westvaco lease is not available as it also joins the recently purchased land.
I will sell it for 18,900 Just about what I have in it inclucing closing cost,taxes,etc.

Hope the wvhome.com page helps.
