Yesterday’s feature was Go Exploring. Today’s illustration is the cover a 1981 brochure of Susanville’s Hotel Mt. Lassen. It is standard chamber of commerce propaganda. There is usual description of Lassen County weather. It was the last sentence on that topic that caught my attention: “Although the surface is dry, the porous volcanic rock which underlies much of the county contains many underground streams, which feed lakes and rivers.”

Thanks to the late Francis “Fritz” Riddell, a well known archeologist,  we have an account of an underground stream and a bonus a petroglyph story as well. I am working on the finish touches so it should appear next week.
