BackWoods Drifter Photo Gallery and MTR
It seems I just have the hardest time getting to this blog to post. The main reason for that is because I have taken on a huge battle and find my time used up rather quickly. The battle against (MTR) mountaintop removal coal mining. If you are not aware of this devastating practice - I encourage you to follow the link.
Massey Energy has come to Bolt Mountain and I will be telling the story and showing photos on this blog from their method of mining coal.
In other news - I’ve put a new photo gallery online and in it you will find all photos from previous posts on this site as well as a ton of photos that never made it to the blog. The photos contained in the gallery are from all over West Virginia and support this blog, the BackWoods drifter blog, and the Stop MTR blog.
Three of the albums contained in the gallery - Mountaintop Removal, Acid Mine Drainage, Valley fills - are there for education and awareness of the devastating impacts of mountaintop removal coal mining.
