Great points JF5... I also think that Easten MA got left alone for awhile when everyone was hunting out here.
Remember when there were rows of cars parked up on October & Beartown Mtn?!? It was a sea of orange.
Southern Berkshire has a great dee population, but the "city folk" have moved out and bought up and posted most of the land. It takes and act of congress to get permission ... or the "caretaker" hunts it.
