from the deep mining and coke production starting in the late 1800s to the surface mining in the 1960s and 70s..the blackwater river watershed suffered major environmental degradation. the rocks stained orange from the acidic metals..the green water not that of alpine waters but that of limestone slurry to help cure the waters. the mixture of history, beauty and the sight of restoration in process..just made this my favorite place i saw while in WV..thanks LA for showing me this magical place
