I'm from houstonWalked there yesterday down gasline from Helen lake.The property being so close to the highway and in a populated area,I was concerned that an open pit would be a huge eyesore and cause opposition from locals.It wouldnt be depending on how high up the west bank of the mountain they cut.The area is in a bit of a depression.Closest house I could see was on the far bank of fishpan lake.Close enough for blasting to be really really really anoying unless they get really really paid.Rangeland and cattle in every direction except up the mountain.Creek from fishpan flows across property couple hundred yards from staging area.Anything else just ask.
