Cedar Gulch
Cedar Gulch empties into the Klamath River on the north side about two miles upstream from Klamathon. Going down stream
the road crosses Cedar Gulch just before going over Giddings Hill. It is not a large gulch and has water only during the winter months.
I do not know how it was named. I can understand the gulch part of the name, but I never did see any cedar trees in the area. Some people refer to cedar trees as juniper trees, and it is possĀ­ ible the name came from the many juniper trees along the gulch.
I did a lot of riding on horse round-ups in the earlier years, and the rocky hillside of the gulch is still there where I made a forced landing after one of Charlie Lisky's so-called saddle mares wiggled out from under me. I tried my best to stay on her back but could not.
