Did they pull some shenanigans on you? It seamed you donated a LOT of time and effort there..... Your opinion is it should be a national park.... sounds ok to me - I am still ticked that they are allowed to CONTINUE to hold possession even though grampa got the damned place under false pretenses by misapplication of the mining laws. (many of the mining laws, even today, suck mightily). So, a national part sounds FAR more appropriate today. They smelted down countless TONS of CD and now act like meteorite collectors, who actually act as preservers of this material, are the bad guys.....I have no fond feelings for these people at all (could you tell?) either. Anyway, tell us the outcome of your previous arrangement with them that involved so much of your donated time and energy. Sounds like they did it to you....
