Mammoth Valley

Mammoth Valley is a depression in Southern Utah between Hatch and Duck Creek. The Mammoth Creek flows along its floor.

History

Mammoth Valley was the site of a planned constitutionalist community in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Investors in the project and donors to the Meadeau View Institute in nearby Duck Creek were promised parcels in the valley. Several families built temporary residences and brought in mobile homes. During the winter of 1993, record snowfall crushed the poorly supported residences, and the families who sought to build the community left.[1]

On January 24, 1994, the Utah Division of Real Estate ordered Meadeau View to stop marketing the Mammoth land, as the offering had not been registered with the division.[2]

Notable residents

gollark: Alternatively, I can just make the adding-to-nickname-mapping bit happen at exactly the same time as the checking-if-nickname-exists bit but that would be really annoying.
gollark: Another would be very aggressive locking or something.
gollark: One possible way to fix this would be to have a central "broker" task which receives all state-updating commands ever and maintains stateful state, but this would be annoying too unless I can give everything else read access to it, and actually getting responses back would probably be irritating.
gollark: i.e. two people try and register with the same nick at exactly the same time, and then it has two people with the same nick because each time it checks it hasn't been written yet, and then everything breaks horribly.
