When I went to check the clear cut mountain on my hike yesterday I expected to find a young mountaintop removal site. I was not prepared for the monstrosity I would encounter.

I wondered about the patch of pretty green grass amongst the madness. I wondered if it was designed to make the workers feel good about destroying everything else. This site actually goes far back to the left but because the sun was setting in that direction - my photos were no good. That’s ok though - I’ll be back.
