"North-central Pennsylvania is a bona fide, 21st-century Eden. Or so says the Wildlife Conservation
 Society's Human Footprint report, which put the rugged woodlands on par with Brazil's Pantanal and
China's Gobi as one of the last untarnished tracts on Earth. Only 1.3 percent of the lower 48 is as pure.
