Thank you for giving the many reasons why the Boy Scouts should not move the Jamboree to Goshen Pass in Rockbridge County ["The Jamboree's move," April 26].
I, too, feel that Goshen is not the right spot.
The majestic Maury River runs by the highway. This river was named for Matthew Fontaine Maury, whose nickname was "Pathfinder of the Seas."
Maury had ties to both Fredericksburg and Caroline County. He liked Goshen Pass so much that he asked that at his death, his body be taken through Goshen Pass when the laurel were in bloom. This was done.
Today, there is a marker
I hope that this beautiful area of the state remains untouched. It is my hope
