Mammoth Monthly
Every month, quality magazine journalism from on high.
Site Info
As you may have noticed, MammothLocal.com, the online arm of Mammoth Monthly magazine, has stopped updating its pages until the economic climate improves. Owners Jean and George Shirk decided to keep the site alive, however, just for the heck of it. The Shirks still have a thing about Mammoth, and may return there soon to stir up more trouble. In the meantime, enjoy the high country (who doesn't?) and stay safe and well.
It's hard to imagine now, but there was a time when Mammoth's people didn't have a grasp on what was happening right underneath their feet.
All they knew for sure was that there were steam vents, evidence of recent volcanoes, the occasional big earthquake and occasional swarms of small ones. There was pumice all over the place and a subrange of mountains, the Glass Mountains, made up of black glass, not to mention the Obsidian Dome north of town.
Moreover, there was pinkish rock, Bishop Tuff, whose origins were unknown, and lots of yellowish rhyolites, also a mystery.
Roy Bailey changed all that.
