Up a "Plum" Creek

I just love a good case of hysteria.

Especially when it involves Jonathan Carter, who is now out of mothballs and shaking his finger at Plum Creek, citing doom and gloom for the environment, for mankind, for Mother Earth herself, should their Moosehead Lake development plan get the nod from LURC.

Yep, the sky is falling. Again.

Thank goodness Carter and his ilk are here to warn us. And possibly press upon us another silly and costly statewide referendum.

Zzzzzzz.

Hey Jon, you interested in a nice woodsy camp lot? They're gonna go fast up there you know...

Got to disagree withy ou my friend! I don't think the sale and development of the north woods to a bunch of people from away is a good thing. I don't think a national park is right either, but I've witnessed the sale of property around my family's homestead (259 years) and seen people driven from their homes by the same thing. I can almost guarantee the folks in Greenville will regret this development in the future when the jobs are grounds keeping and maintenance type work around the new camps.

Carey,
I am shocked and dissapointed in your comments and lack of concern for what little is left to save in the Maine wilderness. Since SAPPI sold of the lands numerous pristine tracks have been lost forever. Would you have had the same attitute when our forefathers saved the WMNF, Baxter, Yosemite. Thank God there are others out there who care enough to make a difference and don't try to negate the good others are trying to do.
