Dale, George, et al.,
The number of PA sites over 120 is remarkable. It also shows
what happens as we go south. There isn't a single 120 in northern
NewEngland. There are only 3 sites above 120 in Massachusetts. There
is the possibility that the township of Lenox could reach 120, but
that is just a hope.
I wonder what else PA is hidding?
