"Many summers ago, two giants, one named Kah-Bel, lived on Bartlett Mountain, the other named Konocti lived on mountain bearing his name. Konocti had a beautiful daughter named Lupiyoma. Kah-Bel, wishing for the hand of Lupiyoma, caused a fight with her father, resulting in the death of both. Grief stricken, Lupiyoma shed tears over the body of her lover, Kah-Bel, causing Little Borax Lake. Her father, lying down where Konocti now stands, died, and his daughter's tears caused the bubbling water in the springs in what is now known as Soda Bay."
Based on this heart wrenching legend, I believe it would be disrespectful to rename the town of Kelseyville to Konocti.
The name Konocti belongs solely to the sacred mountain.
Please join me in voting No on Measure U. Let's preserve the amazing history of both Mount Konocti and the beautiful town of Kelseyville.
