Logging the Divide

Article Abstract:

Stephen Capra and Sam Wainer began their trek along the Continental Divide at Antelope Wells, NM, on Mar 24, 1991 and ended the 3,100 mile journey on Oct 19, 1991. They were drawing attention to the threat of oil drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge but were most impressed by the 'senselessness of current logging practices.'
