GDG- Was Water Park, Now Preservation.

[Jim Lamason]

Alan, 

Look I am a realist.. You cant save ALL of it. No way. Within a 50 mile
radius that would include Harrisburg, Emmitsburg, Maybe Fredrick,
Chambersburg, Carlisle, Hanover. There is no way... 

That I understand.. I am thinking out loud here. And I realize that a lot of
this is beyond reasonable. But there has to be a way to tell the story. Well
to quote Paul Harvey "The rest of the story"..

One thought on the side. Does any know how this is being if at all,
addressed in the new VC?

Hi Jim -

But if it were really a 50 mile radius, we're talking 50 x 50 x 
3.141592... = 7,854 square miles (which is a little over 5 *million* 
acres - I think its about 640 acres to the square mile).

I don't know what land is going for around the 'burg, but even 
conservative estimates would put the worth at (maybe?) a few hundred 
billion dollars...
