Thanks for the post. Very interesting. I guess time will tell if he goes crazy there. I doubt it as he has a lot of connection with the mainland.

Thanks for posting.
I never knew the real story.
Always heard that Bing owned it at one time as a hunting refuge for him and his friends.
I thought they hunted exotic deer there.
Birds make more sense.
Thanks again.
