Thanks for this. Very disturbing. 😢

Ah, years of expense and permit applications etc etc etc
And wa la, the permit is finally approved-and folks are “surprised”. Valuable minerals exist here and we should be utilizing them.

Thanks for the research.

[@royalslackest]

Well done.

So this is why everyone says the NCT is one of the most dangerous. Not because of wildlife (though there is plenty of that), but I can’t imagine how easy it is to lose trail with that kind of clutter.
I’m a Michigan native and really, really want to take a swing at the trail but I’m worried about navigation. It’s definitely not my strong suit.

Heartbreaking! Just heartbreaking! This needs to be stopped!

Responsible lumber is necessary

So when you go to the polls to vote or however you vote -remember who is for green energy and pushing it and who is against it!

Is this comment in English? I'm having trouble making sense of it.
The sound, unfortunately, is real.
