Letters: Blakeslee preserve has issues; 'fully viable humans' should be priority

The bathroom facilities in the parking lots and picnic areas are filthy, and their smell pervades the entire site. One can only imagine how this is affecting the high quality trout waters of Tobyhanna Creek, a popular fishing spot.
