EAST OF ALLEN: "One of the most charming grottos of the world"
EAST OF ALLEN: "One of the most charming grottos of the world": "SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 2009
'One of the most charming grottos of the world'
Let's turn the clock back to 1876 and say you wanted to move from the cold snowy east to sunny southern California. Well, there was no California Aqueduct, no Colorado River water and no Pasadena Water and Power. You'd have to find water yourself before you could live here.
So it was in 1876 for William Cogswell when he purchased property in what is now east Pasadena and built the famous Sierra Madre Villa Hotel. When Cogswell bought his property, he also purchased rights to 1/2 of the water flowing over a water fall in Davis Canyon, just north of present day Pasadena Glen."

Flood Pictures dated 1971 for Pasadena Glen
This is the old pump station above where the pipes cross the channel in the upper Glen.
This is Nancy's old house (before she bought it) on PGR about where Jeffery's house is now.

Here is my google map that shows the Rincon (Red Box) Truck Trail referred to in the inciweb.org report.
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=109903579263278090335.0004727663b2ee96010ed&ll=34.260622,-117.927246&spn=0.289993,0.547256&t=p&z=11
Control line has now been completed from Mt Wilson to and along the Rincon Truck Trail. If necessary, this line will be used to stop the fire spread into the communities of Monrovia, Sierra Madre and Duarte. At this time the fire intensity in this area is very low and the fire is spreading very slowly.
The San Gabriel Wilderness is the only area where the fire was actively burning. QFT http://inciweb.org/incident/1856/ sept 05, 2009 15:55 hours PDT (GMT -8:00) website saved complete
