There is a certain segment of population that will be traveling on the highways, byways, lest we forget freeways for the Thanksgiving holiday. A century ago, the California Highway system was still in its infancy. It took nearly twelve years to construct Highway 36 from Red Bluff to Susanville.

One of the major accomplishments occurred on November 25, 1923 with the dedication of the Devils Corral Bridge over the Susan River, some six miles west of Susanville. The $45,000 concrete span made travel a lot easier. In 1966, it was replaced with current bridge.
