that area is LEGENDARY for ritualistic animal slayings.... goats and cats!!!!! satanic/witch stuff!!! FOR REAL!!!!! This is not the "joker" jimmy talking...... I am DEADLY serious!!!!!!

hey denise and the byron gang.... why don'ty'all stuff yer britches with raw burger and take a hike around mike's place!!!! you could rid RRF of your elitisim and flush out the lion for mike to shoot!!! hopefully he's a poor shot and gets a couple of the most self-righteous ones!!!!!

Hey Jimmy....I saw it take my goat. I'm kinda new to this ...but who is the byron gang. Never heard of that gang before.

seriously, mike don't get yourself dirty in my childish little games.....

i'm just goofing on some of the newer "week-end warriors" to inhabit RRF( FROM THE BYRON AREA).... they bought in, driven by the small town charm and the decent price of land up there..... after a while they decided not to leave well enough alone, and made it their mission to change or erase anything that insulted their values or tastes...... IN MY SKEWED AND JADED OPINION!!!!......HERE'S A POEM DEDICATED TO THIS VERY SUBJECT......////
DOWN IN THE RAIL ROAD FLATS.....

Twas a little piece of heaven in a bigger spot of hell,
Nestled in the bosom of the Sierra Nevadas.
I wasn't sure just what planet I had just landed on,
An alien invader in a strange mountain fold.
Oh, they looked at us with those skeptical stares,
Knowing full well their way of life there was to end someday.
But they took us in anyway, finally seeing our flags were the same color,
And taught us the art of rock-flicking and tree-bending!
Miles and miles of tormented roads and depressed dwellings
Peppered the backs of the manzanita hills.
Pine pitch wafted in my nose in the sunshine,
And cool, sweet water in the faltering twilight.
Like fleeing snakes, the rivers and creeks charged down-hill,
A Pacific grave was the prize at the end of the run.
We found the Red Planet above Prussian Hill,
Waiting for us to be the last of the guard of an older way of life.
The only real laws out there were the laws of common courtesy,
Don't tread on me, and an eye for an eye.
Folks were as real and as painfully set as a re-broken bone,
High-falutin' ways were as real to them as Hollywood dreams.
The summer sun burned the devils out of your bones,
The winter chill froze the snow angels into your flesh.
Funny, I never heard the whistle of a train,
Where were the railroads?? Hell, where were the FLATS??
West Point was pointless, Wilseyville was full of wiles,
Independence sat in lonely forgottenness,
Glencoe, a plaque in the artery of Hwy. 26.
Mountain Ranch and Sheep Ranch sighed in amnesic slumber,
While Mokolumne Hill and San Andreas kept vigil to the gateways.
A part of my soul is still buried in the flesh of those fractured rises and draws,
A part of who I am... there's no shame, I feel, to admit it loud and proud.
So, to the new dwellers who've changed her lovely, rustic face
Into the image of what they deem beautiful and of value,
Don't forget there were lives lived out before you came,
And remember they cleared the way for you and your ways!
Resist the temptation to rush to change a land that never asked you,
And treat her with the respect of your fathers' graves and your childrens' futures.

HEY BIG RED...... I DO HAVE A USE.......SCARING OFF ALL THE fa&s AND HAGz FROM THE FLAT LANDS!!!!!

Man that should be publised. It nearly made me cry..........and now I know the kind of people yur talking about. They can't make it in the cities because they are so unimportant there, so they find a nice quiet small place where they think they will be big shots....They probably don't like each other either. Well I hope they are ready for a big winter. You sound like you know the drill ;canned goods, beans, candles, firewood and plenty of gas for the generator. You lived here before? Your heart is here my friend maybe you should come back?

love to, but no work.......

mike, THANK YOU!!!! That's the BEST compliment EVER!!!! all the byron gang panned it!!!!

currently it's entered in a contest at
http//www.poetrysoup.com .... it's in the free-verse catagory...... it was one of my very first poems ever!! like 6-8 months ago.....

Mike where in RRF has the lion been spotted?

Near Ridge rd and the christmas tree farm. The trracker said they have a 14 mile radius in our area here......

Mike, thanks again for the warning,where do you live? When id you see him last? thanks, Susan

Mike, We think we saw him last weekend, was out washing the truck and out of the corner of my eye, I thought I caught a glimpse of him. How often have you seen him? Joice
