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
