6. Agree, beautiful country.

The only time have ever served on a jury was in the Trinity County Court in Weaverville circa 83 or 84. A customer of the Wildwood Inn ran off the road into a tree. By the time law enforcement and an ambulance arrived, the customer being prosecuted for drunk drinking was busy getting wasted at the Wildwood. He claimed he only drank to sooth the pain after the accident. His claim of sobriety before hitting the tree was supported by his Wildwood Inn buddies. The jury finding was not guilty based upon the eyewitness testimonies and failure to show and inconsistency in documenting by LE. Pretty sure he was wasted that day in court too.

Not much in Wildwood except the Wildwood Inn and the USFS Ranger Station in Harrison Gulch.
