Our trip up to Gridley, California where the girls ancestor, George Washington Gridley, founded this town. He is buried in the Gridley-Biggs Cemetery in town. Later we found out that another Gridley relative of theirs is Richard Gridley who served as President George Washingtons Chief Engineer during the American Revolutionary War and who directed the building of a fortress that the British were unable to penetrate.

We watched the lightening strike all over the valley and this is a view from our front yard of the beginning of the fires near us.
