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.

If the above photograph seems familiar, it is. It was part of the September 1 post, that I had composed mentally, but never made it for the reader, since hip matter had me out of commission.

That particular date ushered in a small milestone that marked six months of daily posts.  We have covered a lot of territory in that short time span, with so much more to come.  These posts, it should be noted are picked up by various search engines, and certainly makes the material widely available to anyone with access to the internet.  Results from Google searches indicates that someone from the Czech Republic researched the 1-0-1 Nite Club; in Japan it was Spoonville; Brazil the Bank of Lassen County; United Kingdom the Milford Flour Mill and in Jordan the Susanville Methodist Church.  Yet, the two most popular posts were That Old Barn and Eagle Lake Ice Caves.

When I launched this site, I had no idea how it would be received. Over 5,000 people visit it each month, though some may think it is a low number, personally I think it is a good start. On the other hand, there are just less than 50 people who make a nominal financial contribution by subscribing, that help with the costs.  However, it should be noted that the paid subscribers are also well taken care of with historic tours and hard to find papers.  After all, you do not want to miss the upcoming Halloween Tour, and once I am able do the Inspiration Point walking tour.
