I get many questions (since we've lived in PMC almost 40 years), about WHY things are the way they are, and "who did what, when." So I've been persuaded to share some of the "history" of Pine Mountain Club.
If it's real historical fact you seek, this isn't the place. The history of these mountains and canyons, and the early inhabitants, has been well documented already, by much better writers and story-tellers than I. Bonnie Ketterl Kane has written volumes (literally) on this area. The Ridgeroute Communities Historical Society & Museum www.rrchs.org is a great source for her well-researched works. Author Peter Gray has also published a lot about the history and geography of this corner of California.
No, what this blog is about is memories, recollections, and stories. Some may be pure fiction, but if it's still a good story, why not include it?
I don't intend to have an outline, or any particular plan to this blog. It will just wander where it leads. I've made a few notes for future reference, but we'll just follow the path, wherever, whenever.
Ultimately, any story about a community comes down to people, and their lives, and personalities. There's a lot of great stories here, and some sad ones, touching ones, and some bad ones. Your questions, comments, and memories/recollections are most welcome. That said, any general negativity, or attacks on any individual, living or dead, will be removed. If you want to be negative, use one of the forums, please.
