For those that have the benefit of the upcoming three-day weekend, you may want to include Coppervale in yours plans, as it is up and running.

For those not familiar with the ski hill, it is located between Susanville and Westwood. It has had a long history dating back to the late 1930s, when it first established as a part of the operations of the Meadows, a popular roadhouse located at the base of the mountain. Since the 1940s, Lassen College has played a major role in its operation. It is one of many unique things that is Lassen College, since it is also home to the nation’s oldest gunsmithing program.

This is kind of cruel . . . I do not know the answer! The level terrain, with abundant trees alludes to the fact that it is west of Susanville, but where?  What the photographer’s definition of “near” is not clear. Any thoughts where it might be?

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 February, 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.

P.S. – I have not forgetten about Halls Flat. In search of a contemporary photograph for an introduction.

Originally known as Batcheldor & Adams ditch which portions were constructed in 1858. It later became known as Buggytown ditch, for the area just west of Leavitt Lake in the 1870s. It was so named as one of the first settlers possessed a buggy when such luxuries were rare on the frontier. The ditch/canal is what feeds into Leavitt Lake.

This, unexpectedly, turned out to be a two-fer month. Several topics with back to back articles: Flanigan, Sacred Heart Church, the Mad Trapper from Rat River and Memorial Day.  There are plenty of other topics spread in between such as a Logger’s Lunch, Greater Westwood, Inc and Lost Meadows Golf Course.

If you are out and about you may want to pick up the May edition of the Northern California Traveler that features an article on the Gallatins of Eagle Lake.
