Just an update, and it is not my intent to do this as teaser! The text is ready, but I need to photograph two locations, one a grave and the other the oldest house of prostitution still standing. The latter is not where one would think. My ability to get around improves, and if all goes well this weekend, I will have an assistant to photograph the above, plus more, like the original location of Soldier’s Bridge, the 1860 military encampment.
The location of the above photograph has some significance to Susanville’s early brothel history for an event that occurred there in 1908. Stay tuned.
This is the Devil’s Corral Bridge I remember. The last time I was down this Highway I saw the bridge had been replaced , I also note’est the little valley southeast of the bridge had several buildings in it. When I was a Boy Scout back in the 40’s & 50’s There was nothing there but a big meadow with streams running through it. It was beautiful, And served us Boy Scouts with some wonderful Jamborees. I wonder if some one could come up with some good photos of those days.
