Well, it is that time of year again, when a few years back I made my debut at Susanville’s now defunct Riverside Hospital. As is customary, this one day I take the day off from regular duties. Then again, I might take the opportunity to get a head start in the photograph selection of the 2022 calendar.

When I announced the availability of the 2021 Calendars earlier this month, I included a note that it was probably going to my last one after all these years. After all the calendars go back decades when I supplied the historic photographs for the Lassen High School Graphic Arts calendar who produced the calendar.
Anyhow, in 2019, I cancelled my paid subscription to Calendars that Work, that was my source for the template. At that that I downloaded the 2020 and 2021 templates. Well, lo and behold, I happened to download a 2022 template. With that in mind, there will be a 2022 calendar, and so now the work begins on photograph selection.
Not sure what to give that special someone, but want to keep the budget balanced too? Why not a gift subscription to tipurdy.org. At five dollars a month it is a bargain. You can decided whether for a month, quarter or even splurge for a year.
The recipient not only receives a daily email notification of the latest topic, but is entitled to hard to find papers on the Eagle Lake Ice Caves, too. On top of that they can partake in members only tours varying from a summer solstice observance at an ancient solar observatory to the Inspiration Point Tour. Even if that person on your list is not local, they still receive materials associated with the tours.
In addition, don’t forget the 2021 calendar, and books, too!
It is that time to slowly focus on a new year that is quickly approaching. As usual I have put together a 2021 calendar with a wide variety of historic scenes. Among the featured photographs is Fruit Growers Camp C, Lake Almanor, Tunnel No. 2 of the Fernley & Lassen Railroad, Thompson Peak among others. It should be duly noted that this will probably be my last calendar.

In a strange twist of events, a box containing thirty-two copies of my Eagle Lake book surfaced. So for a short time, the popular out-of-print book is once again available while the limited supply last. To learn more about book and to order see books.

On a quarterly basis, I ask you the reader, if there is something you would like to learn more about or maybe its something you heard, but question its validity. So here is an opportunity to participate. I will do my best to answer any questions. It should be noted, it may take awhile for the answer to appear as a post. The primary reason, many of the daily posts are done nearly a month in advance. So by the time you read this I am already working on posts for the middle of November, or at least I should be. Whatever the case may be, I look forward to hearing from you. Of course, it should be noted that paid subscribers requests receive priority. In addition, you can always send a request at any time.

This is to inform any one interested if you want to obtain a copy of my epic book on Susanville, I would not suggested you procrastinate. My inventory is very at about twenty-five copies, and once its gone, its gone. To learn more about the book and to order see books.

Any one who has travelled between Susanville and Westwood on Highway 36 since the fall of 2019 are well aware of the Good Fred project. The project consists of a realignment over Fredonyer. A second realignment is at Goodrich Creek. Further upstream from the existing bridge will be a new replacement bridge. Now for your history lesson for the day. This is not the first time, the highway changed the location of the crossing of Goodrich Creek. The first came in 1929, when the highway was being constructed, and the highway department did not care for the original wagon road crossing, and relocated to the current site.
Now, you have a little historical trivia to impress your friends.
Yesterday, marked the 2,000th historical post on this site. There are now 122 pages that make up Tim’s Blog that go back to February 2015. Remember if you go to the front page, there is a magnifying glass symbol in the upper right hand corner, which you search just by typing in a key word or two. Personally, it comes in handy for me when researching a topic to assist others. Enjoy.
