As odd as it may seem to some, I’ve met quite a few folks who now reside in Alaska (perhaps the most beautiful state) but still think fondly of the PA Wilds and consider it to be one of the most beautiful states in the US. I hope others like you, who do not live in the PA area, will continue to pay attention to what’s happening here and make sure your federal politicians know how you feel about it.

Please fight to preserve it. I grew up in PA decades ago. I moved away for graduate school and eventually moved to my new and beloved home in Alaska. It is beautiful up here. However, my heart is still connected to a very special place on the road between Cherry Springs and Wharton. Catching native brook trout at the beginning of April in Wild Boy and the East Fork of the Sinnemahoning while listening to ruffed grouse drumming for a mate, seeing a wild turkey hen with her just-hatched brood figuring out whether to divert attention or protect them, fall hunting turkey carefully sneaking up on the benches, seeing the rotting timbers of the cabin at the base of Horton that may have belonged to the last Native American in the area, hunting deer in a respectful, humble, and connected way, enjoying the smells and the silence of just being there in such a beautiful place (it’s named God’s Country for good reason) – are these things worth trading for the short gain of profit associated with mineral rights or other forms of development? I am old enough to realize that we cannot memorialize our past (completely). However, while I spent wonderful parts of my life in Potter County, I also lived in Lancaster County, where admittedly, at a deep personal cost to farmers, the Pennsylvania Game Commission bought land in northern Lancaster Co. to create Project 70 – what is now known as the Middle Creek Wildlife Refuge. For those who have been there, it is a remarkable oasis. Drive a few miles from there, and you are in an environment that is no different than anywhere else in this country. But, when you are there, you are transported (back – if you are old enough to remember) into a different world that you cannot find elsewhere. People now come from great distances just to witness migrations of Snow Geese there. Go ten miles away, and there is nothing special. However, Potter County – still – has the opportunity to preserve SO much more. Please (re)consider what you truly have, and stand up (as I know Pennsylvanians can do) to preserve and protect a rare and precious resource – a gift that is truly yours.

Years ago, having taken my aging mother from a nursing home in Lancaster County back up to the hunting camp one last time before her death, I could see in her eyes that she knew she was a clear step closer to Home. Please consider what you can do to ensure that Potter County can still rightfully, proudly, (and thankfully) be called “God’s Country.”

Thoroughly impressed by your site and the amount of dedication you have given to the issue of hydraulic mining. I am working on a project regarding fracking awareness and if you could email be back so I could ask you some questions and discuss further, I would be so incredibly grateful. Thank you for your time.

]]> Comment on Refracking wells? by Jerry Lobdill http://dothemountain.wordpress.com/2010/02/12/refracking-wells/#comment-1935 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 16:23:27 +0000 http://dothemountain.wordpress.com/?p=609#comment-1935 Never believe anything any of these companies say.

I live in Fort Worth, and they have not refracked any wells here as far as I know. I have not heard of any Barnett Shale wells that have been refracked. I do not believe that refracking will work.

I am a chemical engineer and physicist and have technical reasons why I do not believe it will work. I think it is hype designed to permit gross overstatement of reserves.
