	A History of the Yosemite Firefall
		I'd like to make the history a thorough one, and it certainly could not be complete without the contributions of those who have witnessed the Firefall firsthand, or of those who have followed its story and have interesting additions they'd like to share.
		Regarding the history of the Firefall: As the ranger naturalists told it when we were there, at least one plausible story was that McCauley started it by burning the garbage from the Mountain House and pushing it over.
		A further bit of history as it was told in the days when we were there was that the Mountain House was the oldest building in the park and the oldest continuously operating hotel in the U.S. (supposedly since 1872, as I recall).
