Rainbow Ridge is a nod to the former attraction of Rainbow Caverns Mine train (later called Mine Train through Nature’s Wonderland). Rainbow Ridge was a location that you went through during the attraction. The old attraction was in part in the location where Big Thunder Mountain railroad is now. There are several nods to Rainbow on Big Thunder.

Barnabas T. Bullion

Barnabas T. Bullion is the owner, founder, and president of the Big Thunder Mining Company, introduced in the 2013 refurbishment of Big Thunder Mountain at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. The T in his name stands for Tony, after the Imagineer he is modelled on; Tony Baxter.

Bullion is a greedy and stubborn man who went mining for gold in Big Thunder Mountain. He bought a drilling machine from his friend, Jason Chandler, who, in letters displayed in the queue area at Big Thunder Mountain in Disney World, discouraged him to stop mining there in light of supernatural activity at the Mountain. These same letters identify Bullion as a member of the Society of Explorers and Adventurers, which is a fictional secret society with a storyline that spans around all the Disney Parks and resorts as well as the Cruise Line. A portrait of Bullion can be found at Disneyland Resort’s Big Thunder Mountain in Rainbow Ridge and an oar from his expedition down the Colorado River can be found at Tropical Hideaway.

Bullion was also a character in Marvel’s Disney Kingdoms Big Thunder Mountain comics, where he is portrayed as still stubborn and greedy, but much more sympathetic. He appears with his daughter Abigail Bullion and his friend Jason Chandler.

DIY Crochet Meandering Paw Prints Over the Rainbow Ridge Afghan 

Last month I received a private message from a fellow stitcher named Doug Speeckaert. He had been inspired by my Meandering Paw Prints scarf pattern after his cat Snoopy had passed. He wanted to crochet a memory tribute and so he set to work expanding on my scarf pattern. When he sent the picture I asked if he would share his calculations....because I KNEW others would be asking for this. He graciously handed over all of his notes inserted into my pattern!!! So I bring to you my very FIRST collaborative pattern!!!

Since early June, a tree-sitter has been living in an old growth Douglas fir on Rainbow Ridge, a key logging area, attaching lines to neighboring trees to stop them from being felled by the Humboldt Redwood Company (HRC). Meanwhile, solidarity actions on the ground have blocked logging vehicles and workers while exposing the hypocrisy of HRC, a company that claims their industrial logging is “sustainable.” In reality, HRC not only logs old growth trees, a practice they claim to avoid due to sustainability reasons, but also practices a method of forestry known as hack-and-squirt. This refers to hacking around the base of an undesirable tree and then spraying pesticides into the opening. The goal is to get rid of trees that aren’t economically viable and make room for tree farms that consist of tightly-packed rows of, typically, one type of tree. This practice is not only unsustainable, it decimates complex ecosystems through the use of pesticides and the construction of monoculture greenery that can not sustain diverse plant and animal life. Meanwhile, the dead or dying tree carcasses left in the wake of hack-and-squirt operations provide astonishingly dangerous kindling for wildfires in a state that has experienced two straight years of record-breaking forest fires. Indeed, apart from providing buffers against wildfires, natural and old growth forests act as heat sinks for extreme temperatures, clean the air, and provide us with that most precious and mistreated element, oxygen. In other words, the direct action work of blocking logging access and protecting these trees in the Mattole is vital. It is immediate, resolute and side-steps the pandering between industry and government.
