Howdy,

Thanks Fever. Very cool BOOM and a good read also.

Amazing how they had the good sense - even way back then - to pay attention to potential environmental impacts.

Where are these sagacious civic-leaders when we need them today?

Cheers,
Terry

I enjoyed looking at this video clip. I was lucky to see the famous Ripple Rock area last summer while I was on the way to Port Hardy.
