Frugal by Choice

I've found a really good article about public land around the country. At the bottom of one of my web sites, I have a search engine. Go to the bottom of the page [and] enter "homesteading" in the search engine. There you will find the article. It gives names and addresses of the contact people of the states with land available - for a price. No free land anymore.
