Its a 'scenic byway' but, that and a $.50 will get you a bag of chips apparently.

Found out earlier this summer that the company contracted to test our well water for contamination, has a VP who speaks at Fracking industry symposiums and lectures about defeating Anti-Fracking movements and navigating local opposition to frac sand mining... and is pitched by the mine as a third-party/independent body.

Typically its 4-5 local yokels presiding over the permanent destruction of these bluffs for a handful of jobs..
