I'm coming up with a list of all the preservation and conservancy groups in the Knoxville area for work. I'm glad to know how many there are in the area and I'll probably share more with y'all in the future. I just visited the Friends of Wears Valley website and my heart dropped at the photograph on their homepage. The least I can do at this point is put it out there and express how sad it makes me. The title of this image is "example of what we don't want."

Stan - i think we stayed there for Moon-Dogg's batch party? sigh
"it's our tiny town! we can build it together."
"ooooh. yes, goody."
I've always been a proponent of a buffer zone around national parks that limit commercial development. I don't know how it would work, but it's a shame that in creating places like GSMNP, we also cause places like Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg to spontaneously erupt.
