Throughout the country, state parks, historic sites, homes, buildings, museums, and similar institutions are struggling to continue operating. Because of general financial problems, many of these institutions are operating on a reduced schedule or in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Many will not weather these hard times without your help. Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep state parks open. It will be your loss. Public Service Announcement | Test space for future ad if donations don't increase. |

| Carson and Colorado Railway Engine #18, oil burning steam locomotive built by Balwin in 1911. The Carson and Colorado Railway was a 300 mile long narrow gauge line, locally called "Slim Princess" because of the narrow track gauge. The rails never reached Carson City or the Colorado River, but rather ran north from Keeler on the shore of Owans Lake and was completed in 1883. The Southern Pacific Railroad bought the line in 1928 and abandoned it in 1960 due to closing mines and LA stealing water. In it's time, the railroad marked a significant improvement to the economy of the eastern sierras. Another Carson and Colorado Railway locomotive with cars can be seen at the Laws Railroad and Historical Museum near Bishop. This monument was dedicated June 26, 1999 - Slim Princess Chapter 395 E. Champus Vitus. |
