Great documentary....but if you are going to post this public video, but claim the location is a secret, well, that's what the self-anointed do. The rest of us just shlep along...without our university educations and attitudes...just a thought. Thanks for listening...

Pro-tip reintroduced fish species are "wild" that were endemic (native) to the area.

The Sierra Nevada is a beautiful place. Please don't sully its name by pluralizing Sierra which in Spanish describes a range of mountains with ridge that looks like a saw sticking up in the sky. It's so bush league and irreverent to miss the meaning in this name. Did yah fall asleep in class at SOC? There many sets of mountains with sierra in their name on our globe. Such a beautiful piece of work with a scratch in it. Best of luck at job that many others who have gone before with lesser tools...realize that and we move forward as humans.
