Issue: July 16, 2015
Morning, readers!
Are in the mood for adventure? Sure, we gave you some ideas last week
for tromping around Butte County. But this week we look into the work or
Edward Abbey and his legacy of activism and championing nature lives on.
In other news: We look into allegations that Sycamore Pool is less than
hygienic these days and find out a little-known fact about the cleaning
schedule; we wish the Saturday farmers' market a very happy birthday
(35!); and we grab a bite to eat at the Bidwell Golf Course.
There's more, naturally, but you'll just have to read to find out about
it all!
Until next week,
Meredith J. Cooper, associate editor
