Inspiration Point, 1919

Mary Fern Long posing at Inspiration Point, 1919

As of March 1, meteorologically speaking is the first day of spring. So with that in mind, I am going to add a spring in my step, and step away from scanning photographs for the Tuesday tidbit for awhile, because I am also experiencing technical difficulties in that department.

What is interesting about this photograph of Susanville’s Inspiration Point, is that prior to the 1930s when the “point was developed” the best natural spot were the flat boulders before approaching the point we know today. The next time you happen visit, take in the surroundings and notice the difference. By the way, when looking  down to see the Susan River, it just happens to be the natural divide between the northern Sierra and southern Cascades.
