Hard metal mine(s) adjacent to the Wolf River?

I know that property like the back of my hand. My family on my mother's side is from around there. My grandmother was a Schoepke. I was part of a deer camp were some of the old drillings were. I killed a lot of critters back in there, caught trout out of "Palm Springs" and have many stories of the area. It would be sad to see it tore open.

I'm with you.

What does resistance to this look like?

I have more time than money.

I'm so glad Al Christianson handed in his resignation last month.
