I lived in the Sierra Valley

I lived in the Sierra Valley at different times at what I will always think of as Campbell's Hot Springs (now Sierra Hot Springs). I was there the day John Petrocelli sold the property in 1976. I knew him, and I listened to the old man’s yarns about the place. I worked there and once lived through a cold winter in cabin #2, warmed only by a wood-burning stove. In recent years I’ve often been a guest at the lodge. When I heard you talk on NPR about what is, or may be, happening to the Valley, I flat out wanted to cry.

Sincerely,

Rafael Montserrat

... in those days, Douglas Homs
