Marcellus Shale Extraction Severance Tax – “Fracking” Important!
Water levels here in Pennsylvania have been pretty low this season, but it appears gas levels are rising. We usually don’t use our website as a political “call to action” but feel in this case it’s warranted. Our State Governor and Pennsylvania House and Senate have expressed their intent to pass a severance tax (long overdue in our opinion!) on the gas drilling industry by October 1st, with the POTENTIAL to dedicate funding to conservation. We have the opportunity (if we act quickly and with many voices) to ensure that the tax is passed, and that a significant portion of the proceeds are allocated to conservation. In addition, we ask your support to request that funds be dedicated to the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission to allow them to continue (and expand) their work in making sure that natural gas is developed with as little impact as possible to our aquatic resources, and hence to boating. Paddling in Pennsylvania will suffer greatly if water quality (or quantity; the “fracking” procedure used to extract the gas uses millions of gallons of water!) decreases. Please help us ensure it doesn’t.
If you are a Pennsylvania residents, please contact your local state senator and representative (see www.legis.state.pa.us, in the upper RH corner, or your phone book) to voice your support of the above three points.
Thank You!!

| About our Retail Store: |
· We specialize as a full service paddlesports store. We stock canoes, kayaks and all kinds of paddling accessories. We also stock repair, outfitting and rescue supplies, and some camping equipment.
· We're not an "On-line" store nor are we trying to be one. We're a brick and mortar business and with being located in an old train station, our bricks are thick.
· We aren't a sports department store with big open spaces, in fact, visiting our store is a lot like spelunking; it's crowded with merchandise and you can find the neatest things hiding in the crevices or suspended from the ceiling. Plan on taking some time to explore the largest paddle gear and accessory inventory in the area.

| RR Caution Notice: |
Blue Mountain Outfitters is located in the old Marysville Railroad Passenger Depot and the railroad tracks that are located immediately behind our building and parking lots are very active and very dangerous.
Do not park with any part of your vehicle extending past the parking lot lines. Do not turn your kids or pets loose behind our property. For that matter, do not leave them unsupervised anywhere around here -- the road out front is no safer than the railroad out back and we have a lot of vehicles with trailers moving and backing up on our lots. If you step past the parking lot lines or behind our building, you are trespassing on railroad property and the fines are very stiff -- they do not like killing people.
Frequently you cannot hear the trains approaching -- from years of train watching we know that this is not a myth. Worst of all, Amtrack uses these tracks and they always seem to be making up for lost time when they go past here.
