Remember those online and in-person surveys you filled out last year? Come hear what the results were and discuss climbers' impact on the local economy! We hope to see you in the Natural Bridge State Lodge's Magnolia Room at 11am this Saturday, March 12th! We'll be serving coffee, orange juice, and pie charts.

thanks for the link mourz.

I wonder what the average pay is for one of the coal jobs? the 102 million at 1231 positions is about $83,400, or maybe what tax revenue is brought in through the 936 million said to be generated?

[milspecmark]

Very interesting. What is the ultimate goal of this project?

milspecmark-the Access Fund's latest newsletter will give you some idea

[milspecmark]

thanks clif. All I could find as the latest newsletter was winter 2015. Is that the one? I could not find any info in there.
