Having recently stopped in McCloud, California on my way to Oregon, I learned that the town built by immigrants and populated by farmers is being threatened by Nestle which wants to build one of the nation's largest bottle plants and extract water from the springs of Mt. Shasta. Local groups are protesting this proposal, and I strongly agree with them after having visited the town.

If you are on the I-5 on your way to Oregon, I encourage you to stop by McCloud and taste some of the water which I found to be some of the best water I've ever had. I also urge you to visit the following links: www.protectourwaters.org (where you will find sample letters to send to the county supervisors) and www.californiatrout.org. Let's do our part to protect the waters of Mt. Shasta. - Lorenzo Scarpone
