Kelly,
My brother lives near Ashland. He leased his 50 acres 3 years ago (cheap) and the gas co. had an option to renew the lease for two more years. They renewed it on the last day before it was to expire three weeks ago. He was sick but could do nothing. I think we should just be patient and wait. They are still doing seismic testing according to my brother. (They have wires strung all across his property.) Good Luck in getting an offer. I will let you know if I hear anything.
