When you see the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, be sure to inquire about the edge of the blast zone. I've stood well inside of it on the border between federal land and private. The difference: It's a blast zone on the former and a thriving forest on the latter. A land exchange deal escaped my comprehension. A private owner held the top of the mountain owing to some old railroad grants (I thinK). The Forest Service acquired that parcel in exchange for one containing ... you guessed it ... a thriving, productive forest. By some strange quirk of fate, I once lived in a house on the edge of a Philadelphia ghetto. The owner was acquainted with Gifford Pinchot. Pinchot was also governor of Pennsylvania and father of the Society of American Foresters.
