Wm B Richardson 1936 58 General Account Heavy Rains At Doyle’s It has rained up at Camp Doyle this winter, according to E. Terwilliger, who was down from the resort today for the first time in weeks. February 4, 5 and 6 the precipitation amounted to 15 inches, and another 5 inches fell last week-end. Records such as these go far to explain the flood threats in Tule river. During the winter 156 inches of snow have fallen and there are now three feet of snow on the ground, Terwilliger said. Since December 28 travel about Doyle's has been possible only on snowshoes. Terwilliger came down to Camp Wishon this morning on snowshoes. The river reached the highest mark since 1916, during the rains, and washed out the concrete diversion dam of the San Joaquin Light and Power Corp. at the resort. The roads are badly washed though cars can now be driven into Camp Wishon, and repair work on the road above Wishon's is going forward. From Porterville Evening Records Feb 2 1937.
