WWALS: Sabal Trail red pipe going into the ground in Hamilton County, FL 2017-01-14 [Up]

Red pipe going into Hamilton County HDD, 30.4098870, -83.1640110

The day of action against Sabal Trail at the Suwannee River saw hundreds turn out on land, water, and in the air and got a lot of press, but Sabal Trail continued to pound pipe into the ground in Hamilton County, Florida, going under Suwannee River State Park (SRSP) and the Suwannee River.
