content: Thanks! That's a neat little summary. Abner Weed; ok, now I know. I just played a gig in Morgan Hill expecting that the big conical hill on the edge of town was "The Morgan Hill", but I guess Morgan Hill was this super rich guy that got a train station near his house in the 1800s so people from So Cal could come up and stay/party at his mansion. Town came after, or so I hear.  So, does the prevalent snow in the picture indicate anything about todays (2017) current Shasta snow levels?! Just curious. I thought the Shasta volcano had also erupted near 1800 too.
