The Wizard you are refering to Jona is an elderly cowboy.Whom still camps near the upper pools occaisionally.He has been known to have some wild drinking partys,I've seen them last for days.He is a very good chess player when he is sober.And he can tell lots of interesting stories of Saline valley.Last time I saw him he and Lizard Lee were at odds with each other.I think he said he lives near the Thousand Oaks area. The Wizard of DC doesn't drink as much, but can tell just as good a story about the DC area.
