As thanks, President Roland Gaebert gave an official Rotary mug to Moloney. He brought some of the artifacts, objects older than 45 years, he has found on his many searches across Southern California as part of the cultural resource management his company undertakes prior to building projects such as Diamond Valley Lake or solar farms. Artifacts pictured in the foreground include power-line insulators and various primitive tools made from obsidian and granite. Photo by Tom Kluzak

  1. Looks like a thriving community! I am impressed. Was looking for any photo/information about my great-grandson, Lyric, who is attempting a thru-walk on the PCT. He and his mom were there recently, and Lyric who is 7 years old, was interviewed by someone from your local newspaper. Can you help me find that info if it was published? Thank you so much for your help. Gail K

      • Hi Becky, and thanks for your response. I live in East Tennessee and do not know how to get a copy of the photo/article about my granddaughter and her 7 year old son, Lyric Hicks, who were in your town on April 9, at the Red Kettle. They are attempting a thru-hike on the PCT. I would appreciate any help in obtaining a copy of your publication, and will happily reimburse you any cost for either mailing me a copy, or sending me a copy via e-mail ([email protected]). Thank you for your assistance.
