I believe, they did the Ogles wrong That is there land to do as they wish, between Aep and Hocking County they are treating these people wrong, I respect them for standing up for what is theirs! Hocking County use to be nice, but it is not that great anymore, the caves have got trashed up, and they let companies come in and take over, Hocking county is not for there community at all, they dont stand behind people here , i say this out of personal experience, my family was suppose to inherit, and cabin and 135 acres in rockbridge and the gas company took it all, slpit up the acres and sold them all off for money in there pocket, this happen in 82, my parents didnt have the money to fight back, and my mother had health problems, we had a copy of the will and they destroyed the real one, i miss my home place it was the only place that felt like home. So I know what these people are feeling.

What a sad sad story! Hocking Hills is the most beautiful, seemingly nautral place I’ve ever seen. It is really Ohio’s Paradise. The LAST thing it needs is more industry. Pleople go there to relax, and the Ogle’s are living a life I can only dream of. I wish them luck in fighting AEP, because they are a powerhouse in the area, and tend to get what they want at the expense of the environment. I’d be more interested in learning about the Ogle’s, their cabin, and how they’re making it work out there.

What a story! I feel for the Ogle’s, who’s property is being altered because of the “need” for powerlines. Unfortunately, they probably have a very small voice compared to the power company who feels that they have to place their lines right there. Since being off-grid is a minority in this country, one would be hard pressed to find other people to stand up and fight for the Ogle’s cause. I will be interested to see the outcome of this. I hope that the Ogle’s are keeping good notes and also a photojournal of the destruction the power company is doing. It will be interesting to see how the land recovers. -Lisa (onthefox.blogspot.com)
