[Geysers] More on the Pool

[MA Bellingham]

Scott -

Yes, those were 1937.

I didn't read anything about those being planted, but I am not too 
interested in the OF parking lot!  Enroute to going somewhere else, (as is 
usually the case when you turn me loose in the archives) I did read and see 
photos of trees being planted on the lane between the gas station at Fishing 
bridge and the road, and at Mammoth.  I have also read about tree plantings 
at many campgrounds, after they were fairly denuded and trampled, then fill 
dirt brought in and replanted for a "natural" look.

Still cold here at Emigrant.
