We are right smack in the middle of fire season here in California, with at least one dangerous wildland fire burning uncomfortably close to Yosemite National Park. So I thought it was fitting to have a look at one of the Forest Service’s historic fire towers. These days, most of the towers have been abandoned or even turned into vacation […]

ENJOY and have FUN.

The newest stretch of the Johnny Cash Trail in Folsom crosses Robber’s Ravine and heads east towards Folsom Dam; it runs parallel to East Natoma Street as it crosses beneath the first of two small roads entering the grounds of Folsom Prison.
