Hi Bill,

I live in Georgia, but my dad’s place faces El Yunque from Luquillo.  I remember going there back in 1964 and it was the most fragrant, beautiful I had ever been to in my life.  When I returned years later, I was aghast that people had actually began building homes in this rare forest.

Good luck.
