He drove himself to the hospital and was put in ICU. @Devonviolet and her husband took care of his goats and dogs. he was in for a week, felt better, talked to DV, me and a couple of others. Then there was no answer to texts of phone calls, DV called the hospital and found out that he got real bad, family was called and in a few days, his body shut down and he was gone. Nobody saw this coming. :hugs

Well it WAS a long time ago, my memory is porous. I just remember fire falling down the cliff. Don't know when they stopped doing that.

January 25, 1968 was the last ceremonial Firefall. It was usually only done during the summer.
The National Park Service ordered it to stop because the overwhelming number of visitors that it attracted trampled the meadows, and because it was not a natural event. NPS wanted to preserve the Valley, returning it to its natural state.
