Was interested to see the 2.13 acres preserved in New Mexico. Likely either at the Glorieta or Valverde sites. I only wish that more could be preserved by the CWPT so that none of us reenactors out here would ever have to worry ever again about these precious sites being bulldozed and turned into a 'Santa Fe' or 'Taos' style resort, condos, etc.

Just an opin from a Westerner in the West.

Here's to hoping that they can increase the ground saved in South Carolina by at least 840 acres (the size of Morris Island!).

In case anyone happened to miss this comment by the aspiring developer of the island here it is again:

Huffman joked, "I'm surprised there are just 100 people who are opposed to it. I think I've got 100 people who are in favor of it. ... If that's all they got, that's great. I'd like to meet with them all individually. I'll buy them lunch."

From the Charlotte Observer:

Huffman said the design of his homes would be in keeping with an 1863 sketch of buildings on the Cummings Point side of the island, using natural building materials such as low-slung tin roofs, stucco and tabby (mixed oyster shell) construction with native woods.

Huffman states:

"This is privately owned land on which homes can be built," he said. "And I plan on building some fine houses out there in a historically sensitive style."

How about his historical sensitivity here:

"Morris Island would be for a very discerning-type market. But this is a one-of-a-kind setting. I wouldn't be jumping through all these hoops to build there if I didn't know there were eager buyers out there," Huffman said. "My God, it's one of the most gorgeous pieces of real estate in the Southeast. It's a 360-degree line of sight, and the worst view is of the ocean."
