POISON ROCK
MENDOCINO COUNTY
July 7, 1937: Mrs. E.H. Long, who has been rusticating at Poison Rock on Estel Ridge with Mr. Long, who is stationed at the lookout there, came into Covelo Saturday for a few days. She says it is lovely and cool in the mountains, which is more than it is here–96 in the shade today.” (Ukiah Republican Press)
September 7, 1938: “Ed Long and his son-in-law, Otis Sweeney, drove to Willets Thursday evening for an X-ray of Mr. Long’s arm. While doing some painting at the Poison Rock Lookout Station a heavy shutter fell and possibly fractured the bone above the wrist in Mr. Long’s arm.” (Ukiah Republican Press)
