Thanks John.

I am, a grandson, a nephew, and a cousin. The ferry is still up and running, I don't get up there nearly as much as I'd like to though.

Look up squatters rights on Google, sorry bub you should have run me off years ago, the island and my fishing cabin I built on it are all legally mine now. But I'll let you come an visit sometime.

this was taken in early september, 2007

there used to be a trestle bridge over the river here, years ago I used to fish here every weekend.

Beautiful photo! Super! Bravo, Georg!

This is some of the old mining equipment from the Ghost town of Hites cove, located near El Portal, CA

Natural Bridges Cave, on Perrots ferry road, near James Town.

I lived for two weeks on this island, just across the Merced River from Henderson Park.

A great swimming hole, just down from Briceburg on the Merced River.
