Update: 'Cowell Lime Works' in Wikipedia
Armed with some very helpful corrections and comments from Frank Perry, I completed the rewrite/expansion of the article. In addition to the Cowell works, Lime Kiln Legacies contains information about many other old lime works sites. Two of the sites are within state parks that have articles in Wikipedia. The article on Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park did not mention the Fall Creek lime works site, so I added some information about the site, using Lime Kiln Legacies as a reference. Next stop was the Wilder Ranch State Park article, to see if the Adams Creek lime works were mentioned. I found nothing about the lime works, but there was a link to a separate article about Gray Whale Ranch. Talk about your outdated information! I merged the Gray Whale article into Wilder Ranch and added a description of the lime works, again citing Lime Kiln Legacies. Thanks again to Frank and the other authors for the prodigious amount of research behind this wonderful gift to more casual local history buffs like me.
