I grew up adjacent to the Old Loggers Path/Rock Run area. My grandfather was part of the CCC project in the 1930's to reclaim and preserve the forest land and Pleasant Stream after the loggers and industry (a clothespin factory in Masten) had overharvested.
Generations of us since have quietly enjoyed the little-known area. It is an area which, once encountered, leaves a lasting impression of serenity, unspoiled nature, and tranquil other-worldliness that is almost unknown in our modern world. To despoil this paradise with gas drilling or any other industry would be nothing short of ungodly. The surrounding area has suffered enough, leave the people some refuge.
