>>508861813 (OP)In N. Minnesota, there are only 40 acres of an old-growth pine forest left.
And this is only due to a surveying error that occurred during the "Public Land Survey" in 1882, they fucked up and thought the area was a lake and so it wasn't logged.
Luckily when it was resurveyed in the 60's they incorporated it into a State Forest Area.
If you only knew how much those 40 acres mogs the rest of the area. It make the rest of the woods look like utter shit in comparison.
"National parks are the best idea we ever had. Absolutely American, absolutely democratic, they reflect us at our best rather than our worst."

"Leave it as it is. You can not improve on it. The ages have been at work on it, and man can only mar it. What you can do is to keep it for your children, your children's children, and for all who come after you, as one of the great sights which every American if he can travel at all should see."
-Teddy Roosevelt
