Just passing along an email to the TU listserve

Dear Trout Unlimited Member:

An Action Alert on a major potential threat to the health of the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park and its trout populations has been posted to
the TU Web site at:

Anybody who appreciates Hazel, Eagle, or Forney creeks should absolutely pay
attention to this. The proposed road into the park on the north shore of
Fontana Lake has been an issue for many years. One can't help but predict
the reaction of the current administration, which has allowed North Dakota
coal-fired power plants to accelerate dumping of airborne waste, which is
deposited on the Appalachians as something akin to vinegar.

This already over-taxed park doesn't need more pressure. And allowing road
traffic from Bryson City to Fontana across the north shore of the lake would
be another step toward turning the GSMNP into a larger version of Central
Park.
