| Abstract: | Jim Jam Ridge winds for several hundred feet a long a spectacular section of the High Sierra, near the heart of northern California‘s Mother Lode country. According to local historians, its name dates back to a night in the late 1800s when a drunk prospector rolled into a campfire, exploding a handful of rifle shells in his pocket. The fatal incident left his two partners with a severe case of the "jim jams" a common term in those days for the "shakes" and that‘s how the name took hold. |
