I'll make something up - who knows, maybe there's a 49er Lake out there.
Figured they'd name the lake after him to shut him up..... maybe?
There's a couple of folks I'd be willing to name the Bored after if that would work.

Re: Seven Clues Game #3
Always good to know something I didn't before.
I just read the Wiki article, and one of Muir's objections was his prediction that the reservoir would leave what sounds like a giant bath-tub ring on the mountains.
It did.

Re: Seven Clues Game #3
I think Californians could have gotten it on that clue since it's been San Francisco's chief water supply for a long time. They would definitely have gotten it on the next one.
