When I met them earlier (before I went to the Fire Tower), one of the volunteer workers joked, “Do you have a camera permit?” When I said, “No,” he gestured a wave to mean he wasn’t serious. He then said it’s a beautiful day for me to be out and told me about their FB page, “Friends of Sterling Forest.”
Later after I posted these pictures there, I received the following reply:
“Thanks for the beautiful pictures Virgelio!!!!! In reality, starting in the 1700's this area consisted of an iron mining industry. There were no trees, the furnace was constantly working, it was noisy and probably not that nice a place to be...... You should come hear one of our talks about the history of Sterling Forest :-)”
I said "Thank you" and "Will do".
