Description

Fall River Mills, California is one of those beauty road-less-traveled towns up north in the valley right between Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen. Their Chamber of Commerce Page indicates that there’s going to be one sweet looking Christmas Lights parade this year, just in case you wanted to go some place where you can have a bit of holiday cheer instead of lockdowns. Including a Parade Coloring Book Contest with $25.00 CASH prize. Dec 21, be there or be square. Wiki says there’s a lot of ag in the area and that this valley is famous for wild rice, garlic, mint, hay, lavender and alfalfa crops. That just must smell amazing all year round, right? Captain William Henry Winters is the town father, who bought the region and gave it it’s modern name of Fall River when it used to be just a couple of guys operating a ferry for wagoneers across the Fall River to Yreka. Pronounced Why-Reek-Uh. It’s the opposite of Eureka. (Also a town in California). The other interesting piece of history that I could find was the Fort Crook Historical Society. Fort Crook is such a great name. Alas, rather than being a hideout of bandits, it was named for Civil War General George Crook, whose beard, by sheer coincidence, also happened to be in a running civil war with his hair. Picture included. The fort was there to protect the ferry and protect the wagon trains. And they’re giving blacksmith workshops until April. 1st and 3rd Sunday from noon to 4. 10 bucks all inclusive. What is your town/city/countryside doing this winter?
Eynhallow is having peaceful protests.
