Coldstream Canyon, out of Truckee, was used by the emigrants to cross over Donner Summit via Roller Pass. Its aspen groves hide 100 year-old tree carvings, you can find agates and common opal in the creek, and habitation sites of the ancient indigenous cultures. Plus, there's a railroad track, with all that history, and just fun wheelin'.

Recently-posted signs indicate the area is about to be "saved," so get out and explore it while you still can, before all the side roads are blocked with boulders and a permit system is begun. As it is now, the area is closed after dark, although I don't know if they actually close the gate....

This s**t is beyond ridiculous. Yeah, if you're MAGA, don't sign up for a trip with me. I'll lead you down into a swamp at the bottom of a canyon, and then ditch you. I have no problem losing business over this, because in my experience, you guys are no fun to hike with anyway. All cowboy boots and wanting me to justify shooting wolves, or asking me to refrain from discussing the Chinese and the Maidu, or complaining about not being able to smell the flowers because Biden gave you Covid, lol. (All true stories.)

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum hopes to enlist the public in identifying interpretive materials in the National Park System that disparage Americans past or living or which contain content that detracts from viewpoints of scenic grandeur.

It costs so little to maintain our parks, compared to other federal expenses. Why can't we carve off a tiny portion of our tax dollars and use that to maintain free parks, instead of all these corporate-sponsored permit systems? https://www.sfgate.com/national-parks/article/campers-california-state-parks-junk-fees-20319828.php?link_source=ta_first_comment&taid=681e9255f9ee7b00014d6f15&fbclid=IwY2xjawKS7Q9leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETEwZWRTUk9IWWdkY2w2T0xYAR5Ab82ffO_iNBHpj5u7PetF4m7TLq8OFLoso5BVP8qLPIBZ8pQVoawrcEg5Pg_aem_MAa0fKYKdlzNj81s9Nz5lQ

Two California campers filed a class-action lawsuit accusing Tyler Technologies, a software company based in Texas, of illegally tacking on hidden "junk fees."

I went looking for an ancient astronomical observatory near Latrobe recently. Small cupules ground into the boulders align with the stars.

It was a nice place for a walk, and I did find some metates/grinding slicks, but didn't visit the main site because of a massive vulture house looming over it. I was in a hurry and not ready to be cited for trespassing....

To my cherished guests: this is no longer just politics, this is crime and insanity. We are better than this. No matter who you voted for, we must all come together, now, to save our nation. United we stand.
