Went to McCains today. Holy cow, what is happening to that place??!! I've never seen the place like this and am afraid this little sanctuary will be no more.
First of all there is a whole ton of vehicle, the road got all torn up. Then there many huge patches of brush all torn up and cleared off along the road. Each patch is a couple acres in size, few hundred yards from the road, and a dirt path cleared to access each of the patches from the main road.
There are construction vehicles, porta-potty, water tanks every couple minutes along the road. All the way from the first camp ground to past the campground at the end. Basically, the entire length of the road.
I couldn't hike far enough away from the road to where there was no construction noises. Needless to say, game animals normally expected were nowhere to be seen. The quiet peacefulness is no longer.
As I was leaving, there were more cars, bulldozers, water trucks, clearing the bushes. Every couple minutes, had to pull off to the side to let a vehicle or a few vehicles pass. I had to ask one of the workers what's going on, he said they are putting in wind turbines. I asked if the place will still be hunt-able after the construction, his answer is "It's supposed to be".
Anybody know anymore about what is happening there?
