| A weekend at Sonora April 7-9, 2006 |
| Last weekend I drove up to Sonora to attend a conference and workshop put on by the National Association for Interpretation. On the first day, after I checked in, I went to explore. The conference took place at Foothill Horizons which is a camp ran by the Stanislaus County Department of Education. It's on a beautiful piece of land just above Sonora. I found quite a few nice suprises... |

| On the way home I stopped at Don Pedro Dam and Reservoir. There are folks that believe this reservoir holds enough water to fulfill San Francisco's needs, and the dam that filled up Hetch Hetchy Valley with water should come down. The dam was built in the early 1900's much to the disappointment of John Muir and other conservationists. It dammed and filled up with water a glacial valley that was Yosemite's beautiful twin.
