More Water In Them Thar Hills
My spouse and I said our vows at a waterfall in Tennessee, so the news of the newly mapped Whiskeytown Falls in California was delightful to me.
The area was prime gold country in its time, and the nearby town of French Gulch once bustled with hopeful miners and those who made their living selling goods and services to miners. French Gulch's one remaining historic hotel was nearly destroyed last year in a wildfire that took homes and other local buildings. The thought of a new trail to a new waterfall will give locals there hope for keeping alive an interest in balancing our country's ecological and social systems.
