MTR In The Distance
Posted on September 20, 2008 | By Denny Tyler | No Comments
A few months ago a person commented on this blog about being able to see a mountaintop removal sight from nearly any ridge in the coalfields. Usually comments don’t stick with me very long. Thursday I went for a ride along the top of Coal River Mountain and I couldn’t help but think about that comment.
There is a reason they say Coal River Mountain is one of the last intact mountains in the area. No matter where you look, you see mountaintop removal in the distance.
All of these photos were taken along the top of Coal River Mountain.
Our remnants of wilderness will yield bigger values to the nation’s character and health than they will to its pocketbook, and to destroy them will be to admit that the latter are the only values that interest us. – Aldo Leopold
