Dardenne has been working on this one for a while. Glad to hear it, this is great news.

Say what you will about the UN (and justifiably mostly) UNESCO WHS designation is pretty good for tourism and is not usually given without real merit.

I use it as a starting point for tourism when I'm going somewhere I've never been before, usually with good result.

My dad has a spot on the reservoir up there close to the state park. Very good white perch fishing. I've scored some arrowheads up around that way. The Indians had a nice way of life.
