Go Exploring!

When traveling the back country around these parts. Google maps and GPS not the best move. Use some common sense. Though it should be noted that AAA maps indicated Shinn Ranch Road was maintained. May be it was back in the 1870s when the Shinns lived there.

This happens to be one of a few annual posts that I repeat. I enjoy this  interesting editorial from the Lassen Advocate of June 21, 1929.  Take the paper’s advice and go exploring, no matter where you reside.

Know Your Country

If you were wondering what to do with your weekends this summer, have you ever given any thought to the fact that you don’t know your own county and the wonderful lake and mountain country immediately contiguous.

Within a few hours of Susanville there are numerous beautiful lakes as well as some beautiful streams and excellent camping spots.

How many have been to Drakesbad and to the top of Mount Lassen? How many have been to the ice caves near Eagle Lake and Wilson Lake?

There are many trips that can be taken from Susanville in the morning returning the same evening and traversing in the meantime a lot of new country that you have never seen before. Beauty spots near a mountain stream with clear sparkingly water are numerous where one may have their picnic lunch.

Try and see your own neck of the woods this summer. You will find many a pleasant day in store for you.
