[at-l] Fly-In AT?

>From Weary:
"Despite the name of the company, no planes can legally land in Baxter State 
Park. However, there are several flying services that provide a similar 
service to hikers, hunters and fishermen. Folsom's in Greenville is the 
largest."
I highly reccomend Folsom's, for dropoffs or just sightseeing. Great folks, 
excellent piolets and resonable rates. Katahdin Air is newer, on the road 
tween Millinocket and Baxter, haven't flown with them, yet. Flying over the 
Park isn't banned, but isn't really a problem yet like the constant helos at 
the Grand Canyon.
"...and perhaps call attention to resources that would be lost if the planned 
dams were built. And yes, the dams were eventually cancelled, though for 
reasons that had nothing to do with my story." Isn't there a current 
Allagash/dam controversy? Wasn't a dam rebuilt, supposedly to help the river 
tourists, but was actually a heavy duty bridge for logging trucks? (at John's 
bridge?) And aren't the Fed's upset about it? I listened to folks at Baxter 
talking about this, and didn't pay close enough attention, I'm afraid. Would 
you fill me in? Thanks, Weary.
