UPDATE, 2 p.m.: It was suspiciously picturesque at the mouth of the Klamath River today where your Lost Coast Outpost was lucky enough to attend today’s historic, star-studded signing of the Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement. We’ve posted a few photos from the event below and, farther down, full audio of the day’s slate of speakers.
While you soak in the imagery, listen to a song played at the end of today’s event. “How We Gonna Take Down the Iron Gate?” was written some years back by local songwriter Petey Brucker with hopes of inspiring, well, essentially what happened today. The recorded version, below, is enhanced by background vocals provided by the Arcata Interfaith Gospel Choir.
