Absolutely click-bait article, and old .. but my thoughts have always been conflicted.

As someone with a family camp on Millinocket Lake and who spends weeks up north in and around KW&W and BSP .. I would very much like to continue to enjoy my time up there in almost complete solitude. Just me, the brook trout, and every type of blood sucking insect there is.

On the other hand .. I would love to see the local economy up there get a boost. I know it's an unpopular opinion, but the KW&W monument has been a good thing for the town - but it's definitely not enough to replace what Great Northern left behind. But I also don't think a Yogi Bear National Park is the answer.
