The National Park Service continues to amaze, and too often not for good deeds when it comes to historic structures. In this case they are evicting a 94 year old artist from a “dune shack” while simultaneously putting other “dune shacks” up for lease.
The National Park Service has said they don’t have the funds to care for Druid Heights but if they had continued leasing the Library, Elsa Gidlow’s House and the Twin Peaks House after they took full control of them years ago and then used the funds generated to maintain and improve those buildings and the access road to DH what an incredible difference it would have made, all without impacting the limited budget they have many a time mentioned when asked about the condition of the empty buildings at Druid Heights.
Save Druid Heights 
How about a GoFundMe for this man?

Druid Heights has been kept a secret. How many people in the vast majority have even heard of this amazing historic relic of a place. Why? Because the message is always, “ Don’t go there! Don’t bother the residents! National Parks don’t want the public to go there! And on and on.
Well, I went there. I walked down from the open gate with my dog on a leash. The people were friendly and happy to engage. A few stopped in their cars to say hello!
How do you expect to ever save this historic landmark from destruction if nobody ever gets to go there and never gets to feel the value of this place.
In other words hardly anyone has even heard of this place so who do you think will fight for it?
And now this man, this 94 year old man is getting evicted from his home.
Hard to gather forces when Druid Heights has been kept a secret for decades!
Who will help preserve something they’ve had no contact with?
Yes! I’m pissed off!!
