I was driving through the town called Klamath Falls and asked local where are the falls. She said "I've been living here for 30 years, there are no falls". I now wonder if there were no falls anymore due to the dams.

Just moved to klamath falls. 4k feet elevation, in a frozen desert with a massive lake. On the border of California.

This is an odd town in every way. I learned this from an older local today. So grain of salt.

Apparently. Klamath was a huge lumber town, and rivaled San Francisco for who would be the larger city...hahah.

But old boys not only shut down i5 going through, but kept a strangle hold on all activities in town for a century.

The unfunny joke I was told. "Klamath Falls will become a decent town when the last 12 old boys die.".

Grain of salt here. Also the spotted owl was a bunch of Eastern Lumber companies funding hippies to shut down western lumber companies. And if you wore a tye dye shirt in town in the 80's. That was a stabbin.

So much salt there.
