Under another story thread there is tremendous outrage being expressed regarding reclassification of wilderness property in the US. While looking for a solution I came across this story. I have always found timelines regarding political determinations to be interesting. Its essential in Africa as the solutions to our problems are always rooted in the past. This story answered one big question I had but left several others unanswered. Hope you enjoy the article.

We've been waiting years to find out of our property will be taken for a highway interchange. The NEPA process grinds on for years, while they decide what they want to do, and probably to time the buyout to their advantage. I think they've known for years our property will be taken, but we will be the last to know. Noted, thanks Michael.
