Before it was Skyline Drive... April 15, 2016

Skyline Drive was beautiful today and in my opinion it is good to set aside land for national parks. While visiting, I read about the people who had to be relocated, some against their will, in order for the park to be established. From the Daily Kos..."But the loss of land and home by the mountain residents, compensated at Depression-reduced valuations; and especially the disrespect, even contempt, so often shown to them in the process, remain a stain upon the history of one of my favorite places. " There are two sides to every story.
