Bear Gulch Bridge Naming Proposals
Two recent guest speakers at our lunch meetings have proposed names for the Bear Gulch Bridge.
The first was September Gray who proposes Wailaki Pass Bridge as the new name. At some future date, more plaques or other items may be added honoring local Indians. For more information contact September at 707 223-4256.
The second speaker was Hawk Rosales of the InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council, a nonprofit consortium of ten federally recognized Indian Tribes from the region. The Council proposes 1) To formally recognize “Bear Gulch Bridge” as the official name of the bridge, and 2) To permanently memorialize the bridge with a plaque listing the words for “Bear Creek” in the Native languages of the region’s Tribal groups that historically lived, traveled through, or traded in the bridge’s vicinity. Hawk can be reached at the InterTribal office at 707 463-6745.

Wow grasshopper, (Carolyn Jordan) I'm impressed with your post!
Now if others would just catch the bug! I would like to hear how Karyn is doing on her tree planting expedition, and how Brian is doing with Rotoplast. We have some very impressive Rotarians. I wish they would share.
Thank you for doing this post, you are great!
