McCoy Solar Energy Project

The McCoy Solar Energy Project is a 250 megawatt (MWAC) photovoltaic power plant near the city of Blythe in Riverside County, California. It occupies about 2,300 acres (930 ha) of mostly public land in the Mojave Desert. The construction uses CdTe thin film panels from First Solar, and the output is being sold to Southern California Edison under a power purchase agreement. The project is located adjacent to the 235 MW Blythe Solar Energy Center, together forming a larger 485 MW complex. The 550 MW Desert Sunlight Solar Farm is located approximately 40 miles (64 km) west in Riverside County. The 450 MW Desert Quartzite project by First Solar, which got preliminary approval in early 2020, is also in the area. History The project was initially proposed in early 2013 for a final capacity of 750 MW, making it potentially one of the world's largest solar plants. The planning process through both state and federal agencies was placed on an expedited approval path. The first construction phase of 250 MW started generating energy in August 2015, and reached its full capacity in June 2016. Completion of the remaining 500 MW is pending identification of a buyer for the electricity.

McDonald Mansion

The McDonald Mansion, also known as Mableton, is an historic residence in Santa Rosa, California. It was built in 1876 in the Victorian Stick/Eastlake style as a summer home for the McDonald family, whose primary residence was in San Francisco. After the death of the senior McDonalds, the eldest son Mark Jr. and his wife Isabelle eventually became sole owners of Mableton, and made it their primary residence. By the early 1920s, the two began to extensively remodel Mableton to suit their own tastes. In 1959, Mabelton's exterior was used in the filming of Walt Disney's Pollyanna. However, film editors altered the look of the McDonald house by using matte painting to add several stories to make the building taller, as well as architectural features. In 1977, during a restoration process, a fire destroyed a large part of the house. The owner, Dr. Jack Leissring, rebuilt the house. He sold it in 2005 to technology entrepreneur John Webley and his wife Jennifer. As of 2018, they remain the owners of the house. In 2006, the Rynerson O'Brien Architecture firm began a five-year renovation of the home. The overhaul included restoring the exterior, recreating Victorian theme rooms throughout the home, and adding new features to the backyard. References

Merced County Courthouse

The Merced County Courthouse is the historic county courthouse in Merced County, California. Located at the intersection of W. 21st and N Streets in Merced, the building served as Merced County's courthouse from 1875 until 1975. A. A. Bennett, an architect who also worked on the California State Capitol, designed the building. The building's Italian Renaissance design was styled to resemble a palazzo; it features a white plaster exterior, a portico with a balcony on the south side, and a cupola atop the roof. A nearly identical courthouse was built in Fresno County at the same time; this building was modified extensively and later demolished, leaving the Merced County Courthouse as the only remaining example of its design. The building's architecture is unique within the southern Central Valley; in its National Register nomination, the courthouse was called "the best example of the Italian Renaissance revival remaining between Sacramento and Los Angeles". The building is now a museum of local history known as the Merced County Courthouse Museum that is operated by the Merced County Historical Society. Exhibits include the Superior Courtroom, a historic schoolroom and blacksmith shop. The Merced County Courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 29, 1975.

Moss Beach Distillery

Moss Beach Distillery is a restaurant in Moss Beach, California, located on a cliff which overlooks the Pacific Ocean. It is officially designated as a California Point of Historical Interest. Originally established in 1927 as a speakeasy, it converted into a successful restaurant after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. History The restaurant dates back to the Prohibition era when it was a speakeasy called Frank's Place. Owner Frank Torres built the club in 1927. Reportedly, illegal whisky was brought from ships, to the beach, and into vehicles for transport to San Francisco. Haunting hoax According to the restaurant, the "Blue Lady," a female apparition dressed in blue, is reportedly seen in and around the restaurant. The Moss Beach Distillery promotes the legend and encourages tourism. In 2008, the cast of Ghost Hunters came to investigate the claims and instead found "a series of elaborate devices meant to scare people that were built into the restaurant, like a ghostly face in a bathroom mirror and a speaker that emitted laughter when triggered by a sensor". The team refused to investigate further after the discovery. According to an interview in the Fresno Bee, former Disney employee Daryn Coleman designed and installed devices to make the chandeliers sway and a phone that rings by itself. According to an analysis by SFGate's Kate Dowd, the haunting claims did not appear before 1981 and the details claimed by the Distillery are inaccurate and the story was likely created by former owners Mike and Shirley Sarno for a local business interview.

Muir Grove

Muir Grove is a giant sequoia grove in Sequoia National Park of the Tulare County, which covers about 215 acres (0.87 km2). The grove, located in the northwest corner of the park, is accessed by the Muir Grove Trail which begins from the Dorst Creek Campground. Because of its relatively remote location in the park, it is significantly less visited than the more popular groves of large sequoia trees in the park. The isolated atmosphere helps keep Muir Grove untouched and preserved. History and Origin Muir Grove was named after the Scottish-American naturalist and author John Muir. His advocacy for the preservation of wilderness in the United States made him well known among environmentalists and politicians. His writing about nature and conservation efforts helped sway many public and political opinions. His attempts lead to the creation of Sequoia and General Grant National Parks. Vegetation Muir Grove has a total of 629 coniferous trees that scatter the terrain. The giant sequoia reproduction is relatively slim compared to other groves in the California National Parks. The high relative density of mature trees compensates for the lack of young trees. There is an increased reduction of trees between one and five feet in diameter compared to other mature groves. Abies concolor dominates the grove, with 523 trees (83% of the total). The next most important species in the moderate-elevation grove is Pinus lambertiana, with 71 trees (11% of the total). There are 33 specimens of the well-known Sequoiadendron giganteum (5% of the total). There also are Libocedrus decurrens (0.3% of the total), which grow on dry or rocky surfaces. There are 56 different species present in the ground-covered vegetation. It's relatively moist, creating mesic conditions. There is only 16% land without vegetation in Muir Grove. Ground cover includes Chrysolepis sempervirens (covering 2.7% of the ground area), Corylus cornuta var. californica (2.4% of ground area), and Cornus nuttallii (0.2% of ground area). Muir Grove Trail Muir Grove Trail is about a 4.2 mi hike, climbing 530 feet. Beginning from the Dorst Creek Campground, hikers can travel west for 1.9 miles, which leads to the edge of the old-growth sequoia grove. Few travelers take the time to walk this trail to witness the mammoth sequoias. Along the trail itself, there are almost no sequoias, but it has Sierra woodland scenery which people admire. There are two creeks, pinewoods, and other large trees that encompass the scenery. As hikers finally reach Muir Grove, the trail stops and the grove becomes a shallow saddle around the outskirts. There are abundant sequoias that scatter the grove making it an isolated domain. See also List of giant sequoia groves References External links Media related to Muir Grove at Wikimedia Commons

Diga Mulholland

La diga Mulholland è uno sbarramanto artificiale che si trova nelle Hollywood Hills a Los Angeles, California. Fu disegnata con una capacità di stoccaggio di 9.500.000 metri cubi d'acqua e con una profondità massima di 56 metri. La diga chiude il lago artificiale detto Hollywood Reservoir. Storia In origine chiamata "diga del Weid Canyon" e poi "diga Hollywood" la diga venne infine denominata diga Mulholland in onore dell'ingegnere William Mulholland a quei tempi direttore generale e capo ingegnere del Bureau of Water Works and Supply. Mulholland fu inoltre responsabile della costruzione dell'acquedotto di Los Angeles così come di gran parte del sistema idrico della città. La diga Mulholland è stata la prima diga in calcestruzzo ad arco a gravità costruita dal Bureau of Water Works and Supply, la sua costruzione iniziò nell'agosto del 1923 e terminò durante il dicembre del 1925. Nel marzo del 1928 la diga St. Francis, della stessa forma e dimensione, crollò causando una ondata che uccise fino 600 persone. A seguito dell'incidente Mulholland ordinò di abbassare il livello delle acque nel bacino della diga Mulholland, nonché di effettuare un intervento di rafforzamento di quest'ultima. La diga Mulholland è ritratta nel film catastrofico Terremoto, girato nel 1974, dove viene simulato il suo crollo ed il successivo allagamento delle fogne di Los Angeles. Appare inoltre nel film 7 psicopatici di Martin McDonagh.

Negit Island

Negit Island is an island in Mono Lake. Negit (along with nearby Paoha Island) is a volcanic cone less than 2000 years old. It can be considered to be the northernmost of the Mono Craters. Negit is composed of three dark dacite lava flows. Historically, Negit served as an important nesting ground for California gulls. However, the fall of the lake level since 1941 created a land bridge to the island, which first appeared in 1977. An attempt at blasting out the land bridge failed to be a long-term fix. The land bridge permitted predators, especially coyotes, to raid the bird eggs and nests on the island. Surveys done from 1976 to 1978 reported that 38,000 California gulls nested on Negit Island annually; this number was reported to be greatly reduced in 1979. Officials with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power attributed the decline in the gull population to the gulls choosing other locations to nest, while environmental groups believed that even accounting for gulls nesting elsewhere, the overall gull population had decreased significantly. After 1979, the gulls generally avoided Negit Island and moved to nest in islets off its north shore. Negit Island is accessible by boats (commonly kayaks). However, the island is off-limits from April 1 through August 1, to protect the nesting gulls.
