Cedar Ridge News
By Santa Fe Ryan

at the Cedar Ridge post office.
"Old Faithful," in six colors,

Parks System. It is the first
1972 commemorative relating

In 1870, Scribner's Monthly
reported that General Washburn
and Langford had "'seen strange
things" in the land south of
Montana. Jodiah Smith and John
Coulter (of the Lewis and Clark
party) had mentioned mysterious waters. One of these turned out to be "Old Faithful," the
geyser that shoots 120 to 170
feet in the air. This happens
about every 65 minutes, lasting about 4 minutes. Other
mysterious waters" were the
"pot holes,"" The bubbling, hot
water holes that dot the area.
We camped in Yellowstone in the
winter of 1970: and cooked our
breakfast over one of these "pot
holes." They are much faster
than electricity or gas. However, you must be prepared to
see your meal float away. Although it may, as ours did, go
the full circle and come back.
These boiling hot pots spew
forth steam and spit at you.
Yellowstone Park was the
first national park in the world.
It led the way to the presentday parks system that now encompass 270 sites covering 46,000 square miles.

Three years ago Slim Jenkins decided to raise purebred
German rollers. He built an
aviary and purchased 80 Ger_man rollers from Gosslar/Harz,
: Germany. This particular breed
has been raised in Germany
since 1555. They are different
‘from those of other countries
in that they sing with their
mouths closed. This gives the
highly desirable softer sound.
The usual canary, found in
_American shops, is often the
chopper or warbler. Many of
these are bred in Japan. Some
have brilliant coloring as a result of breeding with finches.
Slim is highly selective in

I don't consider new born babies hatched also if these

SACRAMENTO--An improved
reservation service for State
Park compers was announced
today by the California Department of Parks and Recreation.
The improved system, offered
by Ticketron, which has contracted with the Department to
handle campsite reservations,
will shorten the time lag between reserving and occupying
the campsite.
Under the new setup, which
becomes effective Monday, February 28, State Park campers
will have until Monday of a
week to reserve a campsite
beginning Friday of that same
week,
Under the previous setup,
campers had until Tuesday of
a week to make a reservation
for the period beginning the
following Sunday. This meant
that on Tuesday, a reservation
could not be made for Friday
and Saturday nights of that same
week. Campsite reservations
may be made up to 90 days in
advance,
Ticketron operates some 160
outlets around the state where
reservations can be made for
7,000 campsites in some 90
campgrounds in 70 State Park
units throughout the State.
Ticketron also provides res+
ervation services for Hearst
San Simeon State Historical
Monument in San Luis Obispo
County. There is no cutoff date
for reserving a tour at the
Castle. A person can reserve
a tour on the same day he plans
to take it, provided there is a
reservation available and the
person can get to the castle
from where he makes the reservation in time to take the
tour. ~
In 1971, the first full year
of operation in State Parks,
Ticketron computerized reservation system was used by
over 100,000 families who reserved over 300,000 nights of
camping. Another 640,000 people
used the service to reserve tours
at Hearst Castle.

SACRAMENTO--The State
Department of General Services
will take over administration of
Squaw Valley State Recreation
Area March 4, the Department
of Parks and Recreation
reported today. The change in
management was authorized by
the 1971 Legislature.
Squaw Valley was acquired
by the State in 1958 and developed to host the VIll Winter
Olympic Games in 1960, Following the games, the area was
turned over to the State Department of Parks and Recreation,
Most of the facilities at Squaw
Valley are operated by concessionaires under contract with
the State. It is a‘year around
recreation area featuring snow
sports in the winter and outdoor
summer activities. Visitor
attendance in 1970-71 was nearly
700,C00.
The passage of a law by the
Department of Parks
and Recreation
1967 Legislature ordered theState to divest itself of all its
rights, title, interest, and obligations in or to the Squaw
Valley SRA. Since then, Parks
and Recreation has exchanged
lands with the U.S, Forest Service to obtain addition acreage
in the valley, and last year
asked for bids on the area, There
was no successful bidder, and
since then, the State had negotiated with several parties over
sale of the area.
The work of carrying out the
1967 law (Chapter 1251) will
become the responsibility of the
Department of General Services
when it assumes management of
the area, Skiers and summer
outdoor enthusiasts will have the
same recreation opportunities
there after March 4 as in the
past. However, the unit will no
longer be a part of the State
Park System.

SACRAMENTO--The State
Department of Parks and Recreation will ask the Sonoma
City Council to overrule the
recent Planning Commission approval of a proposed 125-unit
townhouse development on the
Montini property adjoining the
Vallejo Home, a part of Sonoma
State Historic Park. The council
willxconsider the matter at its
February 28 meeting.
William Penn Mott, Jr., Director of Parks and Recreation,
said the property is important
to the future development of
the park to provide for restoration of the historical vineyards. and orchards planted by .
General Vallejo.
"It is also needed to retain
the historic scent that would be
lost forever if the townhouse
development were allowed."
Mott said he plans to develop
that part of the Montini property not necessary for historic
purposes as a day use area for
‘picnicking and relaxing for the
historic park visitors. '"This
would tie together the Plaza Unit
of the State Historic Park and
the city's proposed "Oid Sonoma
Depot"' park as a major tourist
attraction."
The Department, Mott said,
is preparing a supplemental budget proposal for 1972-73 for
acquisition of parcels of land
around the Vallejo home. These
include 12 acres on the east side
of the home, 16 acres to the
west, and about 2.6 acres behing the home.
"The State Historic Park had
an attendance of 146, 766 in
~1970-71", Mott noted. "These
visitors contributed substantially to the economic well being
of the community, and with the
realization of the full potential
of the State Park, I am certain
that the City of Sonoma will
gain far more than if the property were to be developed as
a townhouse unit."
