Subject: the crowd at china wall
Im amazed that the Owens River Gorge has its own homepage! But to be
truthful it pains me to see the sacred walls of the Chickchanzee covered
with recreators . Im not sure why. I grew up in that gorge and lived in
Benton. The Indians were removed from the gorge by force and it is
believed that their ghosts still shout for mercy some nights. I never
did care for urbanites and was generally annoyed to have to make the
routine rescue trips on behalf of the wall climbers when ever the
overzealous fell down and broke something serious. I suppose it is the
complete lack of interest and respect on the part of the recreators that
bothers indeginious locals. But have fun and please remember the people
that were exterminated from those walls just seventy years ago.
