ABOUT THE AUTHORS Richard and Lois Deeter along with their two sons, J.D. and Nathanael, are presently making their home in the mountain valley environment of Sierra Christian Farms, within Sequoia National Forest, California. They are the only year-round residents of the valley, living there without benefit of electricity, running water, or telephone. Their nearest neighbor lives six miles distance from them. Rick has prepared many years for this experience, receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree from California State University at Long Beach in 1967. He specialized in environmental biology. During the summers between classes, he was employed by the United States Forest Service in the Minarets District in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Rick has always loved the Sierras, spending much of his time there since 1958 when his grandfather purchased a cabin in Wilsonia, a private community within King's Canyon National Park. It was in this cabin that he delivered Nathanael in February, 1980, just following the purchase he and Lois made of what was known as the "Lower Weston Meadow" in Sequoia National Forest, adjacent to the park. Before moving his family to the mountains in 1979, Rick spent ten years in the construction industry. With the education and actual experience Rick has acquired, he is qualified as an expert in regard to the subject matter covered in this report. His opinion, though subjective, has been carefully developed through a knowledge of the facts and training in how to interpret them. His wife, Lois Jennison Deeter, is new to the mountain area, but her appreciation of it is great enough that she is willing to tolerate great hardships as a part of her everyday living experience in order to be able to live there. Since most of her life has been spent in the city, learning to live under these difficult circumstances is a constant challenge. Lois is the editor-compiler of this manuscript, having won numerous national and regional honors in the field of writing. She has received some training in the medicinal and edible uses of native plants, and looks forward to expanding this knowledge while living on the ranch.
