In a 7-2 opinion on Monday, the Supreme Court upheld a 2018 “right-of-way” permit by the Forest Service that would allow the Atlantic coast pipeline operators to place a 0.1-mile segment underneath the Appalachian Trail in the George Washington National Forest.
I love the environment because we've got the best environment.
Overall, I don't like messing with the public natural spaces we have (whether it's your local park or a National Forest,) but this pipeline will cross the trail in a very small section. I'm surprised the SCOTUS came out at 7-2, and didn't 'get political' and come out 5-4.
What does concern me though, is that everyone is focusing on the Appalachian TRAIL, but not thinking about the rest of the pipeline. It's a 600-mile pipeline.
It's beautiful country out here, but I wouldn't put it past some group to sabotage the project. And I don't mean to sue Dominion or Duke Energy on their permits; I mean to literally sabotage the pipeline!
They already started construction; a lot of the pipeline is built. And yes, when they build it, it is ugly. They tear up the land. But, if they put it back together, they have the chance to make it better than before. Bigger. Better.
I live in south western Va. There is a town about a half hour from me that hosts a party every year called Trail Days in the spring. Its a town that is on average close to where all of the through hikers starting in georgia will be. Its a good place to stop and rest, sociialize, get supplies etc. So needless to say (love this saying haha) there are a ton of hikers who have been on trail for weeks by this point.
Remember that time you took your gf camping and on the third day yall tried to get busy but it wasnt the best because of obvious reasons (literal sandy vaginas and smelly buttcracks...bad breath...sweat etc.)? Well Im sure these folks find a creek here and there and wash up, but your not getting proper clean until you find a shower or bath. So all thats kinda whatever, but then add the fact that just like the rest of human civiliazation, there are women (and men i presume) who get by on the trail by giving out favors and sex to the guys who havent seen a another human in a week. Wouldnt be my first career choice.
And trust me. My first live in gf in college was a hippie to the max. You dont want trail pussy hahaha. Well, maybe i guess if you and your woman are hiking thats find. No trail strange.
Liberal hippie type girls that'll latch on to you, especially when you are well prepared and have plenty of money like I did. Usually groups of people start in the same time frame, there are good times to start from South and North. What happens is people become "trail friends" and tend to accordion in groups along the length of the trail if you hike it all at once.
Instead of hiking people like to get caught up in the social aspect, and spend time in their groups. Well, girls are still unprepared and needy, hiking the trail with $10 in their pocket and just hoping for free shit.
Can't say I didn't bring a few back to a hotel in town, stocked them up, let them crash with me in exchange they act like the sluts they are. They'd prefer to be your "trail boyfriend" sometimes, and it was more common than you think. I wanted none of that and just hiked and enjoyed the scenery. It's not a solitary experience. Do the CDT for that.
In the 1O0 mile wilderness the.black flies and mosquitoes are hell. I started end of july in Maine and hiked south. if you are fit, I'd reccomend doing that. Way less people, less bugs. you hit Shenandoah in the fall it's real nice. You start with all.the mountains so bt the mod Atlantic 30 mile days are easy, and you just cruise.
Bug nets, and you get used to mosquitoes there not terrible. her used to tick checks and just keep moving.
The crossing of the App Trail for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline project will be a HDD (horizontal directional drill) hundreds of feet below. Hikers will likely never notice actual disturbance to the trail itself.
I went looking but I can't find the stories. In Dunnellon, Florida, they were building a pipeline. A group of about 5 fat activist LARPers went there and sabotaged some of the equipment and area. They got caught, got charged, went to jail. Pipeline finished. Now, it's already leaking because of cheap building material/labor practices. So the cycle continues.
Because honestly who the fuck cares about a random pipeline or whatever when fundamentalist leftist religion is being forced down our throats and the second amendment violations by various states continue unabated?
This is how the left wins. The right considers a return to status quo to be a victory, so "you win some you lose some" is really just a very slow slide to destruction because the cart NEVER backs up the hill, it is always sliding left.
Appalachian Trail is over 2K miles long, and like 10 ft wide if that. I doubt seriously anyone is going to notice. Sounds just like bureaucrat EPA lawyers suing each other for the sake of it and billing the taxpayer.
I didn't read. I love the enviroment and national forests, but I know any project like is always sounds far worse than what it is. There was some talk of maybe mining near the Grand Canyon a few yrs ago and it sounded horrible. But when I visited the GC, it ends up there is about a 20 mile buffer on either side that you could literally hide a dozen football fields and no one would notice.
This!!! They use this type of language all the time to scare people. It's "NEAR" something. Well what the hell does "near" even mean? It could mean anything.
I hope to hike the Appliachian Trail in the future. I look forward to not seeing the pipeline because it's underground, while it generates billions for our country's energy independence.
I have plenty of time to take 3x the recommended daily dose of probiotics and buy dresses before the office opens back up - I'll have those dippy boxes writing-in Pat Buchanan by November.
Just get one of those magnesium "calm" fizzy powder drink mixes from heath food stores.. take 5x the amount and you will know the meaning of colon blow
Yeah, I'm still kinda shocked at how wildly they're being used in the plains. Had to travel to Kansas last year, and my god, there is hardly any room left for the damn cows.
Wind is better if it's in the high reaching wind streams that constantly run like the North Sea projects and hydro is good if it's run of the river so it doesn't cause flooding like an impoundmant dam.
The App. trail runs the entire N-S length of the eastern seaboard. Pretending to prevent anything from crossing it is Bananas (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything).
I walk almost daily for a mile or so directly on top of one of the world's most important refined-oil products piplines.
The national park and trail are only there because of the pipeline. I see hawks, deer, and beaver all the time, and there was even a huge alligator once, at almost 34 degrees north! A special and natural spot now surrounded by suburban hustle and bustle. I suspect a natural gas line crossing the AT will be a huge nothing burger for future hikers.
It was founded in the 1920s, it goes from Maine to Georgia, but other trails have connected to it, all the way down into the Florida Everglades, and yeah, up into Leaf Land, but all much later.
Yeah but now it has to be built with trannies.
LOL!

and trail skanks.
... Don't know enough about this to know why I shouldn't want.
Imagine not showering for a month and living outside the whole time whille walking through the forest. Now imagine..........nah i wont do it lol
No, no. Let's continue. Do they brush their teeth at least?

I assume they probably need to brush their stanky, sweaty asshole. I think that's what he's getting at.
Oh, sweet summer child.
Can confirm. My wife and I came across one of these while hiking in Vermont. We coulde smell him long before we actually saw him.

I have it on my bucket list, any tips for sanity? how are the mosquitos? are leftists worse than mosquitos? That's a pretty high bar to be honest.

Can confirm, am in HDD business.
came here to say this, it's about 900 feet below the actual trail anyone walks on

Is it a buried pipeline or is it above ground?
Gotta love main stream conservatism. It's just socialism and globalism going the speed limit.
Don't burn down the country all at once guys! Be "conservative" and just burn it down a piece at a time.
Yep fuck the SC once again
What's wrong with this ruling? This is something we generally support here.
Because honestly who the fuck cares about a random pipeline or whatever when fundamentalist leftist religion is being forced down our throats and the second amendment violations by various states continue unabated?
This is how the left wins. The right considers a return to status quo to be a victory, so "you win some you lose some" is really just a very slow slide to destruction because the cart NEVER backs up the hill, it is always sliding left.
And with 2A infringements.
By them, or can we refine them into a solvent-resistant plastic casing to prevent leakage?
Appalachian Trail is over 2K miles long, and like 10 ft wide if that. I doubt seriously anyone is going to notice. Sounds just like bureaucrat EPA lawyers suing each other for the sake of it and billing the taxpayer.
Doesn't the article confirm that the pipeline would only run with the trail for a fraction of a mile in one forest?

Great summary.
Pretty much most of govt right there.
I hope to hike the Appliachian Trail in the future. I look forward to not seeing the pipeline because it's underground, while it generates billions for our country's energy independence.
Beautiful network of trails and branches, also exceptionally clean.
Except for the people
nasssty people sad sacks of virus they're made of meat
Did it SOBO in 09, it's overrated. I'd recommend hiking it at night, ride the sunrises and avoid the people. That made it truly fun for me.
SOBO?
Southbound, I hiked Maine to Georgia.
Most people do it the other way. NOBO, northbound.
trail talk
Amen
Too bad they cucked out HARD on the 2A cases.
The SC just fucked us with sanctuary cities and 2A. It's not looking good
Thank you
All denied cert.
They forget about the pipeline that is already under it, in MA, PA and WV just off the top of my head.
I took spray paint to one and made it look like a giant sharpie.. it's in MA somewhere, happy Easter eggs for anyone hiking.
I normally went by environmentalist, but with all these fakes mucking the actual meaning of the word I am going by conservationist now.
Actual conversation I had with someone.
"How can you support Trump when he's attacking our national parks?"
"I love the outdoors. I've hiked most of the AT."
"Fuck you"
Yes it actually happened.
All this over a tenth of a mile I believe... that's what, just about 528 feet?
The Court have also ruled today that worker protections extend to "LGBT" people.
Women being forced to shit next to men. It's a liberal utopia.
I have plenty of time to take 3x the recommended daily dose of probiotics and buy dresses before the office opens back up - I'll have those dippy boxes writing-in Pat Buchanan by November.

Men can be women, women can be men. It’s SCIENCE!
Women get menopause, men get womenopause. It's SCIENCE!
“How dare you not want to fuck me in my back hole while you give me a reacharound to my very feminine penis! You’re just bigoted!”
Um hello! Women have penises too bigot, gender is a social construct!
They didn't before?
They did. It was challenged, and the Court ruled in favor of the existing rules.
Yeah I'm surprised by this
What privileges do they get? I might be one when it suits me. I think they had a southpark episode about people abusing LGBT privileges.
The AT is ~2200 miles long.
BUT MUH ECOSYSTEMMMMREEEEEE!!! Meanwhile, squirrels can be seen moving to a new oak tree a little ways down the trail from all the REEEE'ing.
Natural gas is one of the best energy sources for the environment, other than nuclear. Amazing that the environmental nuts are trying to oppose this.
Turn that trail into a WIND FARM!!!
Horrible ideas. Kills birds, is a major eyesore, and is not an efficient source of energy.
Yeah, I'm still kinda shocked at how wildly they're being used in the plains. Had to travel to Kansas last year, and my god, there is hardly any room left for the damn cows.
There are monied interests in making sure the US is not energy independent.
Wind is better if it's in the high reaching wind streams that constantly run like the North Sea projects and hydro is good if it's run of the river so it doesn't cause flooding like an impoundmant dam.
We're better than that here.
Yeah exactly! Fuck that shit, we really do need to remain angry about all this bullshit
Yes it's all over. Done.
/s
Can't wait to get back to work on this pipeline. Big win for us blue collars!
Support it.
A large number of roads, electric lines, and other industrial installations cross the Appalachian trail, and pipeline will be no problem.
Now some hippie is going to sabotage it "See pipelines are dangerous!"
The App. trail runs the entire N-S length of the eastern seaboard. Pretending to prevent anything from crossing it is Bananas (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything).
Normies: ITS THE HISTORIC APPALACHIAN TRAIL
Me: Yeah, have you ever hiked it?
Yeah.... “historic”..... it was completed about 80 years ago. It was created just to hike on. Beyond that there isn’t much significance to it.
Yeah, runs near my house. Alot of people coming off it look like antifa candidates. 😁
"...pipeline operators to place a 0.1-mile segment underneath the Appalachian Trail..." 0.1-mile=528 feet. REALLY?!?
Meanwhile Trudeau is still holding up the Keystone XL.
Winning
Elon's The Boring Company should have submitted a bid to build a tunnel for this.

"But-But Muh Turtles Habhitat"
MUH TREES AND GRASS!
I want to get out of the oil industry and into the NG industry so danged badly!
What the actual fuck is going on with the Supreme Court these days? Fuck them! Gorsuch is a fucking traitor!
WTF are you talking about? SCOTUS ruled in favor of the measly 528 feet to pass under the AT, and Gorsuch ruled with the majority.
It was founded in the 1920s, it goes from Maine to Georgia, but other trails have connected to it, all the way down into the Florida Everglades, and yeah, up into Leaf Land, but all much later.
