        This is both news to me and very disconcerting. I'm also hoping
that it is a case of mistaken identity. I also have a family membership
at Chimney Rock Park and I received a letter from them a few weeks ago
in which they stated that Chimney Rock is going on the market and they
were also negotiating with NC to purchase. I wonder if that is the
property in question?

I received an Email from a friend today saying that the Morton family 
has put Grandfather Mountain up for sale with an asking price of $55 
million.  He also said that the state would love to buy it but their 
appraisal only came in at $20 million and, by law, they can't pay 
more than the appraised value.  I hope that they can work something 
out.  I sure would hate to see that property developed for vacation 
homes, or worse yet, a hotel sitting on top.

Later,
Johnny
