Update 2016-11-07: You can put your own pictures on a related google map.
From the air what you can’t see from the ground: Sabal Trail through north Florida and south Georgia.
Driving down I-10, you wouldn’t know Sabal Trail was digging underneath you,g for example.
On Saturday October 22nd 2016, Southwings flew WWALS over more than 100 miles of the Sabal Trail route:
- Lake City pipe yard
- Santa Fe River
- Suwannee County, Florida
- Suwannee River
- Hamilton County, Florida
- Lowndes County, Georgia
- Withlacoochee River
- Okapilco Creek
- Brooks County, Georgia
- Colquitt County, Georgia
- Ocklockonee River
- Moultrie, Georgia
There will be later posts about much of what we saw.a
Meanwhile, here are pictures from two cameras for the entire route.
Click on any small picture for a bigger picture.
Or use the interactive Google Map, which has links to all these pictures and more, including digitization of much of the route by a student of VSU Prof. Can Denizman, and links to all of Sabal Trail’s April 2016 alignment maps for these counties.
John S. Quarterman (WWALS), Dominick Gheesling, Roy Zimmer (Southwings), Jim Tatum (OSFR)
Thanks to Dominick Gheesling for taking many of these pictures in the air (the rest are by John S. Quarterman); thanks to Phil Hubbard for the camera and lens, thanks to Julie Bowland for producing, thanks to Jim Tatum of Our Santa Fe River for coming along, thanks to Roy Zimmer of Southwings for the flight, and thanks to Dave Moore of Southwings for patience.
More posts are listed in the WWALS Sabal Trail Issue web page, which also gives ways you can help stop this unnecessary, destructive, and hazardous fracked methane boondoggle.
