I dunno wtf they they were doing out side of destroying it by literally chopping off the top of the hill and hauling it all away, so someone could make a few bucks while the damage will last forever.

I've seen this before of the east coast, where they coal mine, and just destroy the sides of mountains. The shit should be illegal.

Traveling is great, but one of the major downers is seeing how badly people treat the planet.
