If I remember correct, Timber Island, which is a huge island, 126 acres, was put up for sale a few years back for only 1.3 million dollars. Most of it to remain untouched, by easement, and it took a long time for the sale to go thru. It was a shame that the State of NH did not buy it. They could have bought it for a bargain basement, super-duper, lowest price - highest quality. dirt cheap price and then taken their time figuring out how to use it someday when the state has the money. Did they do it? No, of course not. What's to expect from the then majority of the 'live free or die' Republicans? 'Foresight.....outlook.... & thinking about tomorrow'....not present at that time.

We always hear that the lake belongs to the peoples of NH. So why not Timber Island, that very large and untouched primieval forest-island, too? Who knows, there could be a long time Neanderthal family happily living off the land, hidden away deep inside Timber Island? Anyone been hearing those drum beats late at night coming from Timber Island? They be going - boom da da - boom - da da -boom boom boom!

At 1.3 mil for 126 acres, that's $10k/acre and Timber Isl could be part of the state park system, waiting the day for when a D is in office who could find the funds to create it. But no, the 2003 Benson R-team was just not interested.

(...gotta go now - time to take my medication!)
