Burn baby burn,they have our Eel river water to put it out with…let it burn!
Hopland is in lake county [edit] lake as in large body of water
Hopland is in Mendocino County.
Hopland is closer to clear lake than it is to ykiah as far as water gos it comes from lake county
The water that is diverted from the Eel goes to Lake Mendocino and then down the Russian River which flows through the Hopland area.
And stright to Napa the water for hopland and geyserville comes from highland spring res south west lake county to south east mendo
What is wrong with you?!
That chopper pilot nailed it! Bravo mofo!
Please get the animals out of there’
Oak woodland needs to burn every so often.Destroyed most of
them for grapes.
