On the other I have seen the devastation of mining. Not to mention the loss of such an important historic trail. <BR/><BR/>It also looks very much like the kind of trail my wife and I would have loved to hike someday. There is nothing better than combining, history, beautiful scenery and an adventure all in one.<BR/><BR/>I surely hope a resolution that will satisfy all can be achieved.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting this.Marcelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730088464674356217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924670542270721219.post-59642766963053397142008-02-24T13:32:00.000+10:002008-02-24T13:32:00.000+10:00Such beauty, so many memories.
