Hi Jeanean,
Good info to share about Shasta County. BTW, I just love the name of "Whiskey Town" Nat'l Park, it just conjures up thoughts about a wild past!
Do you know if there is a Paypal account set up for contributions?
Hello Lynda, thanks for the read and yes, they do accept PayPal payment. Woohoo! It's interesting that there are a lot more things going on there than I realized. I'm devoting a whole series to the Park and the history of they area. We have old growth forest throughout the area. Stay tuned!
Jeanean - What a great post highlighting Whiskeytown and the need for contributions! Lynda has a great question about PayPal - it might be a good resource for them to consider!
Leesa, good news! They do accept PayPal....so it's wonderfully easy. Thanks for stopping by!
