Why the Pines were called Church Creek property by the WLT

I wrote the Wilderness Land Trust (WLT) and asked why they're calling the land which they just bought from the SFZC the Church Creek Property. It's been called the Pines I think since Helen Quilty, owner of Tassajara till 1945, bought it. I pointed out that anyone who knows that area thinks of the Cave (Church Creek Ranch) when they see Church Creek Property. The woman from the WLT who did the deal with the SFZC said that when she walked in that property that it was on the Church Creek Trail so she used that name. I said, oh well, no matter. The important thing is it will be turned over to the Forest Service and preserved and the Church Creek Property is just a temporary name in the transition. - DC
