HI
Nice to meet you. I don't know what happened to all those old rifles that used to hang from the ceiling in the "Sky Room". Unfortunately I was away from cazadero for many years serving in the military then getting married etc. I do remeber the big party they had for Bill Britton senior at the sky room after his wife had died and he decided to sell the place. Unfortunately I was a young child at the time and I just hung around at the doorway seperating the Sky Room from the soda fountain/grocery side. so my memory of that night is only from what I observed.

But that night that gave Old Bill his send off was the night the "Sky Room" died I think.

Speaking of "Elim Grove" and your grandfathers dams there. My brother who is 10 years older than I am built a staircase from the far side of the dam to the cottages at Redwood hall in the 1950s. It lasted for about 3 years I think before being swept away during the winter season.
