Happy Holidays lovely dear! 👸❤

Cheyenne, Clint Duncan I'am From Robinson Rancheria, Pomo, Miwok, Known As Bloody Island, Cheyenne I Clint Would Like to Thank U For Telling The Story About Bloody Island, I Would Like To Meet U In Person, How Can We Meet Iike U For Your Time.

When Are U White People Golng To Clean Up The Lake, Damn It!!! Give The Lake Back To The Nat. Americans.

It is an insult to call Indians "native" and especially "native Americans" because they were not Americans and never wanted to be. So call them by their tribal name or Indian, which by the way has no reference to the Indian nation because that land was known as Hindustan and not "India" when Columbus arrived. Bad people did bad things to good people in every age of every know civilization. The best way to honor the Pomos is to build a memorial park to explain their history. Changing the name of town that was created by early pioneers does not stop hate or the desire for revenge. Early pioneers suffered hardships as well to get here. The Comanches and other tribes were famous for torture, kidnapping, rape and smashing babies skulls of settlers. Sorry, life is not pretty so stop feeling guilty about it.

Wow. I've always loved learning about the history of my home state. You educated me on so much here that i never knew or could've imagined. Thank you for all your hard work to bring this horrible massacre to light. I'll never forget this and will share what this sad true history with many i know. From Sacramento, thank you.

Yes I'm a believer Cheyenne, I think I saw a UFO on the Mendocino coast that I believe may have come out of the ocean! 😱 My dad and a friend were talking, then they got quiet for a while, I eventually looked over and they were staring upwards in a trance-like state. I immediately looked upward myself and saw what looked like the moon, but the moon was also there! It just shrank and disappeared quickly like an object moving directly up and away from us, after it was gone, we all agreed that we saw the same thing and they were unaware that they appeared to be entranced!

That was a heart wrenching story. I could sense your compassion and empathy throughout 😢

I hope you're happy and doing well, I see Mt Konocti everyday 😊

I don't know you, but I miss you already and I want to see you again❤

Hey, are you still here in Lake County these days?

I wish I had seen this before the recent vote to change the name. I had no idea. So sad. So, so sad.

Like to know more on vents and caverns in the area. All volcanic areas have them but few are talked about here except for the Indian legends.

I like to go on drives through there from the valley just to feel like im in a completely different place. It gets monotonous down here.

Grew up in LC, ULHS 95. Great story!

I was pretty curious about it, thank you for the history lesson! :D

This is a volcano field, and it will have many different grades of soil, ranging from very fine shale dirt or clay to porous volcanic rocks. Once it gets clogged by water, it redirects a new route to break it free again, causing frequent ground instability.

Thank you for gathering and presenting this information. I just moved to Clearlake a few years ago. I heard about Bloody Island and Andy Kelsey's treatment of the native Pomo, but not in this much detail. I'm not surprised that their hunting, torture, and extermination attempts went a lot farther than most people know. We have a bad habit of hiding our bloody history. It's horrible what happened, but I think it's important to understand history so we don't repeat it. I have a question though. You mentioned a Mormon named Joseph Smith as one of the people leading a group of settlers along with Sam Kelsey. Are you referring to the Joseph Smith that started the Mormon religion? I ask because I was raised Mormon, and though I've long sing left the church because of it's bigotry, I never heard anything about Joseph Smith coming to California. It looks like he died in Illinois in 1844, which was well before Andy Kelsey was killed in 1849. I also looked into his son, Joseph Smith III, but both of them lived in the midwest as there's no record of them ever coming to Califronia. There is a Joseph F. Smith, who was the nephew of the original Joseph Smith. He traveled to San Bernadino in 1854, but he can't be your guy either since the Bloody Island Massacre happened in 1850. Just trying to figure out which Joseph Smith it was and if the Mormon church was involved. There is at least one massacre in the church's history, the Mountain Meadows Massacre in 1857 in Utah. But that primarily a conflict between the Mormons and the US government. Sources vary as to whether or not the native Paiutes were even involved, though the Mormons did disguise themselves as Indians as an attempt to avoid government backlash for the people they killed.

this should have 1 million views! Need a Plumas county version of you

There was an old abandoned inn somewhere in the west part of the lake. Stories of the chefs killing everyone. When I was younger we drove down a dirt road to this old inn. Do you know of this place and story?

Interesting story, and thank you. I wish you had kept the satellite photo or map beside you instead of the brick wall. I like to look at maps while I listen. Well done, though, and much appreciated.

How can I get myself a qt 3.1416 gf that grants me marry greencard?

You are stunning 😍

I live on Cobb. When I first heard about the Kelsey Brothers years ago, I always wondered why in the world is this town still named Kelseyville? It's such a horrific story depicting the utter evil that humanity has to offer. The signs should be torn down, and the Pomo peoples should be able to rename the land. It is DISGUSTING and embarrassing that the name of that town continues. The name Kelseyville should not exist any more than a place called Hitlerville.

I’d like to know where your info came from. Sources please. 💞

I swam in Clear Lake right off the dock in Riviera today.. Think lake cures wrinkles! Whaaat? Skin feels amazing. Lake is so nutrient rich.. Shore sketchy.. Off the dock. Perfect like bathwater. We have even been swimming at night, All summer!

I have dove down to the bottom and grabbed pumice stone. Now I want to scuba it too

Great video, thank you! I can't wait to visit Lake County!

It's Lily not Lillee! ...

It’s not pronounced “and all”; it’s “et al” which is Latin for basically “and all”

Today in Kelseyville, CA there is still too much racism against Mexicans and Latinos... whites always treating others as a lesser race. I personally say this from experience in government jobs or better jobs in Kelseyville. Lakeport, Clearlake are the whites and only them and when you bring your resume they don't even take the time to read it. And in all aspects it is a nice town but the people have the same bad racist supremacist mentality as before. And the people from these places are poor, but very racist. Compared to other places where very rich and kinder people live and they are not racist. I have known Kelseyville for more than 25 years and I know very well what Latinos and the majority of Mexicans go through.

Just stay out of the water and try to avoid the tweeker's! The surrounding area and camping is nice and there is plenty of great hiking too.

Cool. Say hi to the folks

We have another bear in my area in lake county that's 300lbs + and has a bad rear foot. He's been around the area that I know of for 5+yrs. years

Yea I been going thru linden city pass the speed freaky killa bars little town

as an adult, i've learned that, yes you don't judge ppl by superficial means, but also... you gotta trust your gut. you gotta size people up and figure out right away if they're good or bad FOR YOU. it's all about self preservation. nothing personal!

So Thurston Lake is a closed system with no outlet. And this guy wanted to build a tunnel to feed that lake? I mean in a really wet year that could cause flooding to the people on the East side of the lake? Now most of it is seeping into the water table.

I lived on 7th st in Lucerne in the 80's. My friends and I would pass it every day walking to and from school. I think it was a private school of some sorts. Sometimes kids would run to the fence and talk to us but would get in trouble and have to go back. Some would tell us that it was definitely haunted. They said they would here odd noises at night and see people that were see through walking around then just vanish.These were young kids maybe 8 to 12 years old telling us. I always got a weird creepy vibe and walked on the other side of the rd. Never really new what the place was. Was thinking about it and started looking it up. I come upon your video. Thought I'd tell you what I kinda knew about it. Really liked the video. Took me a little walk down memory lane. Thank you.

Appreciate your passion and information about this area. I’ve lived here for a while now and love hearing locals tell their tales.. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻

I'm one of those who always called it Guy's Fault. It's bigger now than when I was a kid in the 80s. Thanks for sharing!

I've watched the night sky for a decade in the place I lived until recently. I always get up a few times in the middle of the night and would watch the sky for awhile, the things ive seen and heard ....holy cow, who knew!!. I have taken recordings and pictures (cell phone so not the greatest pics). To this day we see UFOs just driving home on hwy 29 from Calistoga that are amazing! Aircraft that shouldn't fly that fast and suddenly disappear, aircraft that stays in one spot for hours then slowly fly way hours later, we just don't have that kind of technology Never thought id see anything alien like but after all these years you realize yes, they're around. A couple of times I would walk into my bedroom late at night and see a round blue light shining down in the middle of my bed. Obviously im thinking flashlight right? No, this was too large anyway and coming down through the ceiling. It felt like the light was scanning the bed was looking for bodies in the bed to scan. It was one of the many many many weird things I've seen during this decade starting in 2014. One night a few years back I was heading towards hidden valley driving on the highway, both my daughter and I saw a furry blob like thing with tentacles waving around on the side of the road laying over the white line on the right of the road (for example, it was waving around like a cats tail does, with purpose not random movement). I slowed down to see what it was. There were other cars in front and back of us so some people had to have seen it too. It looked like some DNA experiment gone wrong, (such as combining a deer and an aquatic animal DNA) I feel lucky to have seen and heard what I have, its all so strange and exciting to know all of it actually exists!!!!

We spent two weeks at Clearlake State Park. Fabulous time and breathtaking scenery.

Camped at Clearlake state park every summer for 20 years or so. We would go fish around that island you speak of, one time we anchored by it. Upon pulling up the anchor we had a round stone ball come up with it. Assumed it was a cannon ball

Why real estate is cheaper in this area?

I just discovered you on utube .i lived and built a house in kelseyville during the 2008 crash. I lived in the area for 5 years being from the bay area and traveled all over California there was something intriguing about the clear lake area that makes it so unique

Wow I just discovered you are amazing

Mmm

Is that horrible smell coming off of Clear Lake ever going to be fixed?

i sit here and imagine what you dumb ass people would do if you had to burn your trash each week like i did when i lived in lake county.
