FDR and Pine Mountain

the state has definitely over-developed the site with a big-ass visitors center and I don't know what all --- the celebrated "unfinished portrait" is no longer displayed on the easel in the living room where FDR died but has been moved to a very lame "legacy exhibit" in another building --- his '38 ford, which used to sit in the garage, is now in the museum
but the view of pine mountain valley from dowdell's knob on pine mountain (elev. 1,395') remains the best --- kind of a shame the state felt a need to fill roosevelt's grill with concrete, which was probably its idea of "preservation" ---
