A Miracle in Auburn, California

Auburn is not generally known as a locale for miracles, but a miracle is currently taking placing right here in this sacred land of Auburn. To witness this miracle, simply travel to what was once the Auburn Dam Overlook or even better hike down our lovely canyon toward-the-soon-to-be-plugged tunnel and look at the location where the unsightly scar and affront to Mother Nature used to be. The John Doolittle Scar Upon the Land (JDSUTL) is disappearing right before our eyes.

It is slowly vanishing as the workmen, contouring the new bed to once again allow the American River to flow freely, transport their diggings on angel wings up the canyon cliffs and push the dirt back down to cover Doolittle’s Scar. Miracles happen very infrequently in Auburn so do not miss this one. This covering of the Doolittle Scar is definitely worth witnessing as a spiritual act of faith.

If one miracle can happen here in Auburn, then so can another. That other miracle can take place in 2008 if the voters do what workers do. Voters can bury Doolittle himself with an avalanche of votes and completely rid our area of the John Doolittle Scar Upon our Land. Voters almost performed a miracle this year. Miracles do take place … even right here in Auburn. Miracles always are more successful with help from the people.
