Perhaps you'd like to flood Yosemite valley? Terrible thing natural

We sure don't need it.

That is completely stupid and so typical.

Go away and play with Harry and jps - they share your delusions.

Leave the adults alone.


Awwww...the newsgroup wookie is upset...again.

Was stupid. San Francisco already flooded Little Yosemite Valley.

Nope. It was Hetch Hetchy. Not part of Yosemite Valley. It's part of the
National Park, however.

Hetch Hetchy dam, but the valley was known as Little Yosemite Valley.
One of our favorite lakes is Cherry Lake which is not very far away as
the crow flys, but a long way by road. One of the Hetch Hetchy system
lakes.


So, do you think we should do the same to Yosemite? After all, it's just
got natural beauty going for it.

SF should never have been allowed to put up the Hetch Hetchy dam. There
were proposals to dam Yosemite Valley also. But there is a heck of a
difference in a small area in a populated area being preserved as opposed to
20 million acres. That is larger than several of the states. ANWR is about
the size of South Carolina.
