    How do we stop the damage?

    Hopefully one day common sense will prevail and the 1997 USGS maps will become the official roadmaps for Wharton and beyond.

    How do we stop the damage?

    Agreed (and I agree on the Hunters having access to CH Road). Progress is progress. We can get much more accomplished going to Trenton with a unified front hammered out of compromise.
