Posted by David Hawkins on October 24, 2011  I sure like the name of this location. Nice shot! Posted by Carl Massart on October 25, 2011  Very scenic location and a place with a lot of history. A heavy price was paid in human life to construct the Hawks Nest Hydro project. This project caused many workers to succumb to asbestiosis. Events like this led to the creation of OSHA. Posted by Scott Lothes on October 27, 2011  Carl, thank you for this reminder of one of the worst industrial disasters in the U.S. I consider Hubert Skidmore's book "Hawks Nest" required reading for anyone with an interest in the history of this part of the country. Nice to see some good fall color there this year, too.
