Made famous by a little reported struggle between Native Americans and the Feds over a grow operation I was told by a local that they have a new investor and they're going back in business (you fellow Trovers heard it here first. Lots of struggles all the way before the nearby Modoc War of the 1800's. It's well worth looking up recent investigative journalism from the LA Times to the Huffington Post to read up on the bad blood. Sort of a California version of the Hatfields and the McCoys

I'm a travel writer who just chucked an expensive SF Bay Area life for a new mountain 'lifestyle' in far away NorCal where I am exploring every last corner before setting out for more adventures abroad. In June my life took an unforeseen dramatic turn when I got a rare form of magnesium poisoning I coded, I died and then I got another chance, so these days I never pass up any opportunity and say "oh I'll check that out later, I'll do that another day. Someday is today and seeing the world is my passion.
