I think some of the others made a good point as well, that it was a different time and the resource wasn't looked at the same as it is now. I would imagine waste is much less common now than it was then.
I don't get shoulder shooters either. I've heard the arguments, but I'm still not convinced it's necessary as often as is claimed. I'm glad you're getting to make the move up here. We need more people of your mindset around.
Forgive me as I'm sure you've posted this elsewhere, what part of the state are you moving to?
