This VW I see around town is pretty cool.

Tractor on Main Street

2009-04-25T06:00:00.000-07:00

It is not uncommon to see large tractors on the streets of Susanville. But this thing was a monster!

Deer

2009-04-23T06:00:00.000-07:00

Deer are everywhere in Susanville. They tend to roam in herds through the neighborhoods and adjoining fields. Thanks to my sister for snapping this photo.

Clear Creek, CA

2009-04-21T22:09:00.000-07:00

We went on a picnic to Clear Creek. The park pond had some great reflections.

I love sunflowers!

2009-04-15T14:26:00.000-07:00

July is when my sunflowers start to bloom. A few are popping up in the front yard right now and I need to plant some more this weekend. We grow a forest of sunflowers in our backyard every year.

Happy Easter!

Watery Wednesday

2009-04-07T22:03:00.000-07:00

Because I am not internet savvy, I don't know how to add the URL link to the Watery Wednesday photo. So here it is: http://waterywednesday.blogspot.com/

Last summer I was trying to work on taking silhouettes. I got my sister and our boys to help me out.

In like a Lion, Out like a Lamb.......

2009-03-31T07:00:00.000-07:00

We had a few snow storms in March. Let's hope April only brings rain showers, not snow showers. Thanks to my sister for taking this shot while we were on the road!

Big Sky Country

2009-03-30T07:00:00.000-07:00

I know another state has that claim to fame, but Lassen County has some amazing scenery.

Is it spring yet?

2009-03-29T07:00:00.000-07:00

This is Susanville Ranch Park. Last weekend we had snow. The days leading up to the snow were warm, high 50's. Then the snow came. Luckily it didn't last long. But it did put a crimp in my gardening. I was supposed to plant onions that day. Hopefully by the time this post goes up, all the onions should be in the ground.

Orchids

2009-03-28T07:00:00.000-07:00

My mom's orchids look great. Last year this orchid was cream with no pink. Must be a hybrid, but what plant isn't these days! We were trying to take some nice photos of this outside, but the wind was horrible. I am lucky we got this shot.

Tumble weed invasion!

2009-03-27T16:06:00.000-07:00

Right now in Susanville tumble weeds are everywhere. Not only do you see them on the rural roads, they blow across Main Street too!

More Rainbows!

2009-03-04T21:12:00.000-08:00

I was really surprised at the rainbows we had last week in Susanville. My kids loved it!

Long road

2009-03-03T21:10:00.000-08:00

Farming country in Lassen County.

Another Mennonite sign

2009-03-02T21:01:00.000-08:00

Here is another sign in front of a Mennonite home in Lassen County.

Mennonite Signs

2009-03-01T21:00:00.000-08:00

There are quite a few Mennonite families in Lassen County. I noticed that several families have signs in front of their homes with different sayings. Today and tomorrow I will post a few.

Old Farmhouse

2009-02-28T21:24:00.000-08:00

One of many abandoned farmhouses in Lassen County. Thanks to my sister for snapping this as we drove by.

A familiar site.........

2009-02-27T21:19:00.000-08:00

I bet Lassen County has 10 times more cows than people. It is probably hugher than that.

Preparing the fields for spring

2009-02-26T21:16:00.000-08:00

I have noticed many fields in Lassen County are being prepared for spring planting. We have alot of hay and alfalfa that grows here.

Another rainbow!

2009-02-25T21:07:00.000-08:00

I almost didn't get to photograph this rainbow! It disappeared within minutes of this shot. We pulled over at the Skyline bike trail entrance for this.

Chasing Rainbows

2009-02-24T23:02:00.000-08:00

Monday's showers produced rainbows most of the afternoon. I packed the kids up and off we went to chase rainbows. They were sad we couldn't find the end of the rainbow because we might have found a pot of gold guarded by a Leprechaun.

Johnston Family Carriages

2009-02-17T07:00:00.000-08:00

Johnston Family Carriages is a newer business in Susanville. I found out that they had haunted carriage rides last fall in Uptown Susanville. I wish I had found out in time to go. This year I will mark my calendar.

Late Valentine's Post

2009-02-16T14:21:00.001-08:00

I meant to post this on Saturday, but we had family visiting and I totally forgot! So here it is! My kids, nephew, and I made this on the golf course back in December. Getting six year old boys to cooperate was not easy. Once I snapped this photo, they ran across it, dove to the ground, etc. Little boys are a handful!

Mt. Lassen

2009-02-13T21:00:00.000-08:00

This is Mt. Lassen from Highway 89 in Shasta County. Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen are part of the Cascade Mountian Range. The Cascades stop at Eagle Lake, which is just outside of Susanville.

Mt. Shasta

2009-02-12T21:00:00.000-08:00

This photo was taken in McCloud, Shasta County, CA. There is a great view from the McCloud City Park, Hoo Hoo Park. Seriously that is the name! We spent the day at Burney Falls and McCloud. Glad we did that last week, this week has been cold with snow.

Deer are everywhere in Susanville

2009-02-11T21:07:00.000-08:00

This guy wandered through the park while we were sitting nearby. The deer in this area walk through town and the neighborhoods like it is no big deal.

Old Farm Equipment

2009-02-10T21:00:00.000-08:00

This old piece of farm equipment sits outside of Susanville in the Standish/Litchfield area.

Mountians near Wendel, CA

2009-02-09T21:00:00.000-08:00

Wendel is outside of Susanville. As you can see, there isn't much out there.

Roe Vs. Wade Protest

2009-02-08T18:00:00.001-08:00

I realized this weekend that I haven't posted anything for a month. I took a few weeks off after a very busy holiday season. Then we all took turns being sick. I took this photo last month when I was on the to pick up some meds from the store.

Skywatch Friday

2009-01-09T06:00:00.000-08:00

This fire happened in June 2007. I went by a friends house and the fire was surrounding many homes just behind her property. Scary!! Luckily the fire fighters put the fire out in record time. No homes were lost, just a few vehicles and out buildings.

Good bye 2008!

2008-12-31T06:00:00.000-08:00

I am not sure how much longer the Lassen County Courthouse will be in use. I believe construction for the new, updated courthouse starts in 2009. Too bad this building is too small for our growing county. It really is beautiful.

Susanville Elks Lodge

2008-12-30T06:00:00.000-08:00

There wasn't much traffic on Christmas afternoon. The Elks Lodge at the start of town looked great surrounded with snow.

Lassen County Courthouse

2008-12-29T06:00:00.000-08:00

I used to live around the corner from the courthouse. When my kids were little, we would walk past the courthouse at least once a day during the good weather. It is a beautiful building.

18th hole

2008-12-28T06:00:00.000-08:00

My parents live next to the golf course. We take many walks here throughout the year.

Snow Angel

2008-12-27T12:23:00.000-08:00

We took a walk on the golf course on Christmas Day. It was a blank canvas for my kids and my nephew.

Merry Christmas!!!

2008-12-25T03:00:00.000-08:00

This house is down the street from us. The snow from last week has melted. Last Monday the candy cane border was nearly covered in snow. Just the top tip of the those candy canes were sticking up out of the snow.

This family had their yard vandalized a few weeks ago. Luckily it seems like nothing was broken. But they had to put many things back in their spots. We love driving by, this picture does not do it justice.

Little Hearts

2008-12-24T03:00:00.000-08:00

This photo did not turn out well at all. But when I looked closely, most of the lights look like hearts.

Thompson Peak

2008-12-23T01:02:00.000-08:00

Thompson Peak is probably the tallest mountain in our little valley. Susanville is situated at the start of a narrow valley

Clearing the snow

2008-12-22T01:01:00.001-08:00

Last week after the heavy snow, this person was clearing their driveway early in the morning.

The Old Mill

2008-12-21T13:11:00.000-08:00

The old mill is being slowly torn down. It is owned by Sierra Pacific and closed down about 4 years ago. I am sure the snow we have now is slowing the demolition process.

Staying warm

2008-12-19T07:00:00.000-08:00

It has been a cold week with lots of snow. As I am taking this photo, my little dog is trying to sit in my lap in front of the wood stove. He lays next to it with his head resting on the bricks. He doesn't understand why I keep telling him to sit next to me and not in my lap.

Snowy branches

2008-12-18T10:05:00.000-08:00

On Monday the weather cleared up for a few hours, then dumped more snow on us. My kids were shaking the trees and laughing hysterically when all that snow from those branches fell on their heads. A little while later they were freezing to death and *needed* hot cocoa.

Snowy roads

2008-12-17T00:02:00.000-08:00

The snow plows made a fast appearance on Monday.

Don't eat the yellow snow.....

2008-12-16T08:25:00.000-08:00

Don't eat the yellow snow I say to my kids. "But why?" They ask. Follow the dog and you shall see. Luckily they heeded my advice.

Winters first 'real' snow

2008-12-15T12:27:00.000-08:00

Susanville had more then just a dusting of snow today. Luckily the snow plows came by early and not a few days later. The roads are a little yucky, but I have nowhere I need to be today. If we got this much, I can only imagine how much they are getting up the hill in Westwood.

The Health Nut

2008-12-14T19:03:00.000-08:00

The local health food store has an old sign above their back door. It is a great store, lots of yummy things there.

Masonic Temple

2008-12-13T08:30:00.000-08:00

The Masonic Temple is next to City Hall.

Friday Sky Watch

2008-12-11T21:53:00.000-08:00

Sunset this Thursday. Check out other blogs participating in Sky Watch Friday at: http://skyley.blogspot.com/

Old barn

2008-12-11T10:53:00.000-08:00

This old barn is out in Litchfield/Standish area. About 15 miles outside of Susanville. Now that I know where it is, I will go back for better photos.

Pheasants

2008-12-09T20:46:00.000-08:00

Outside of town many of the fields have been plowed under. Pheasants can be seen all over those fields. They are fast! They hear your car coming and take off. Thanks to my sister for snapping this shot.

Parking lot deer

2008-12-08T18:12:00.000-08:00

The deer in this area wander through the neighborhoods every day. We live at the edge of the forest, so it is common to see deer everyday. My sisters apartment complex has deer that roam around and sleep in the parking lot. My nephew calls them the parking lot deer. It is really cute.

Christmas Decorations on Main Street

2008-12-07T20:30:00.000-08:00

Every year Susanville hangs a variety of lighted decorations over Main Street. They look amazing at night after a fresh coat of snow.

Susanville Tree Lighting/Parade

2008-12-06T23:25:00.000-08:00

Tonight was Susanville's annual Christmas Light Parade and Tree Lighting. Before the parade we walked around looking at the store displays and bought some snacks. After the parade, we walked a block uptown to see the tree lighting. After the tree was lit, there was a fireworks show. We were really close to it and the kids loved it. I think the whole town showed up this year. This is the best attendance I have ever seen. I think adding the parade and fireworks really helped.

Official kick off to Christmas!

2008-11-29T22:17:00.000-08:00

Our Christmas tree is up and the house is decorated for the holidays. I hope all of you have a relaxing holiday season and don't over do it with the madness that is typical this time of year.

Leaves along the Susan River

River Reflection

2008-11-24T17:50:00.001-08:00

Here is another photo from Hobo Camp. It was taken a few weeks before the photo that I posted yesterday. I really love that bike trail, it is beautiful year round.

Bizz Johnson Bike Trail

2008-11-23T20:41:00.000-08:00

I took this photo in autumn of 2006. This is a bridge over the Susan River along the Bizz Johnson Trail. This is at the Hobo Camp picnic area. We used to live really close to this area, about 5 minutes on foot. The kids and I would come here ALOT. We don't get there as much these days, but it is still one of our favorite places to go.

Tractors

2008-11-20T13:56:00.001-08:00

These tractors are at Wemple's Pumpkin Patch. It has been a long week, so I am using some older photos until I have time to get out and about for new ones!

Mt. Lassen

2008-11-17T11:55:00.001-08:00

This is Mt. Lassen as seen from State Highway 36. This is still an active volcano. It hasn't erupted in nearly 100 years. It is the southern most volcano in the Cascade mountian range.

Memorial Park

2008-11-14T09:22:00.001-08:00

Last month the trees still had all their leaves when I took this photo. Now, they are pretty bare.

Gov. Isaac Roop

2008-11-13T08:40:00.001-08:00

Isaac Roop was once Governor of the Nevada Territory which includes North Eastern Calif. The town of Susanville was named for his daughter, Susan. The link below has an interesting account of how Susanville became settled and the disputes that took place.

Bizz Johnson trail honored as a former railroad route

Published: Friday, Nov. 07, 2008 Page 2B

Bizz Johnson trail honored as a former railroad route
Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a national organization, has named the Bizz Johnson National Recreation Trail as the eighth inductee to the Rail-Trail Hall of Fame.
The Hall of Fame honors exemplary public trails that were converted from former rail lines and corridors.
The Bizz Johnson trail runs along the Susan River in Lassen County. The main trail head is at the old Railroad Depot in Susanville.
The trail is featured in Rails to Trails magazine and on the Web site, http://www.railstotrails.org/.
The 24.5-mile multiuse trail is the longest rail-trail in California. It follows the former Southern Pacific railroad's Fernley and Lassen branch line, which carried lumber and passengers from 1914 to 1956.
The route leads through dense high-country woodlands and Susan River Canyon. Along its route from Susanville to Westwood are trestles, tunnels and two trail museums.
– Ramon Coronado

Honoring those who have served.

2008 Susanville Veteran's Parade.

Paul Bunyan and Babe the Ox

2008-11-08T15:00:00.000-08:00

Westwood, Ca is one town over from Susanville. It is about 16 miles away. Westwood is said to be the place where the Paul Bunyan legend began. There are several other towns across the US that have the same claim. Westwood has two large statues as a tribute to the logging legend.

2008-11-01T08:30:00.000-07:00

The caboose on Richmond Road sits on the train tracks that took Susanville from a tiny ranching community to a milling town early in the 20th century. The mills are closed, but the caboose, a rebuilt depot, and a small section of track remain.

I think the mountain in the background is Susanville Peak. You can see many trees turning colors amongst the pines.

Indian Summer

2008-10-30T12:17:00.000-07:00

The weather this fall has been amazing. The warm weather is unexpected this time of year, but certainly appreciated. Today is overcast and we may have rain tomorrow. Hopefully we can trick-or-treat with no rain!

Halloween Decorations

http://susanvilledailyphoto.blogspot.com/2008/02/lassen-l-on-hill.html

I pass this decorated yard just about anytime I go anywhere. It is on one of the main roads in this area. They also have more decorations I will post this week. You can partially see the Lassen 'L' in the background. More posts with the Lassen 'L' are above.

Prop. 8 march

2008-10-28T14:34:00.000-07:00

Saturday some residents walked down Main Street showing their support for 'NO' on Prop. 8. Prop. 8 is a very hot topic right now.

Next week's election is going to be interesting to say the least!

I forgot to say thanks to my sister for snapping this photo when we were putting up yard sale signs!

Halloween Display

2008-10-26T19:52:00.001-07:00

This home in Susanville is ready for Halloween!

Gotta love the lawn decorations!

2008-10-24T14:11:00.001-07:00

This is in front of a little garden shop in Chester, CA. My kids LOVED it.

Deer skinning on Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

2008-10-23T06:53:00.000-07:00

Deer hunting season has started in Lassen County. Idaho grocery (one of Susanville's oldest businesses) has a mobile service to dress out the deer. I have heard through the grapevine that it is a very good service. Thanks to my sister for taking the photo's while we were driving past!

The Susanville Rhino

2008-10-22T11:55:00.001-07:00

When this building was remodeled 5+ years ago, the Rhino was added. I don't know why this was added. But, it is interesting right on Main Street. The hat does change from time to time. The building has been empty for close to a year, maybe longer. The window with the Stevens Realty sign used to have stuffed and mounted deer heads sitting in the front windows. They were not hung up, just laying on their sides in the window sill. It didn't exactly yell out "rent me" with the deer heads laying around!! Next time I am walking by, I will have to check to see if the heads are still in there.

I love Autumn

2008-10-20T09:13:00.000-07:00

The trees at my parents house are really pretty right now. Hopefully this will last a few more weeks!

Last Night's Sunset

2008-10-19T01:37:00.000-07:00

The sunset last night was beautiful. When we were driving home, we had to stop at the Susanville Ranch Park to snap some photos from the parking lot.

Old car display at the pumpkin patch

2008-10-14T18:55:00.001-07:00

Wemple's Pumpkin Patch had a neat old car full of pumpkins in front of the gift shop.

Pumpkin Cart

2008-10-13T17:30:00.000-07:00

Wemple's Pumpkin Patch had cute display's set up.

Turkey Face!

2008-10-12T10:14:00.000-07:00

This year there were quite a few turkey's at the pumpkin patch.

Wemple's Pumpkin Patch

2008-10-11T15:03:00.000-07:00

We visited Wemple's Pumpkin Patch today. We didn't stay as long as we normally do because it was CCCOOOLLLDDD!!! BBBRRRRR!!!! We always have a great time and the kids left happy. I will post more photos of our trip over the next few days.

Nice Graffiti

2008-10-09T11:22:00.000-07:00

Not only is it nice, but it was made with sidewalk chalk.

Wandering Skipper Migration

2008-10-08T07:18:00.000-07:00

I wish this photo had turned out better. In late July the Wandering Skipper migrated across Lassen County. This is Highway 44 just outside of Susanville. The entire area was blanketed in these little creatures. They look like small orangish/brown butterflies. It was a site to see!

Mountian Happy Face

2008-10-07T17:58:00.000-07:00

"The mountian is smiling at me!" That is what my 6 year old was yelling when he saw this. This mountian is across from the Hat Creek Rim Scenic rest area on Highway 44 between Susanville and Old Station. I am assuming the brown areas were logged, but what a funny mark it left.

Good Bye Summer, Hello Autumn!

2008-10-06T07:52:00.000-07:00

Summer has been pushed out the door! The temperatures last week were in the mid-80's, but not anymore! Autumn is officially here along with cooler weather.

Shoes, Sandals, and Casts, Oh My!

2008-10-05T21:51:00.000-07:00

Hello! I am finally back from computer hell! I have a new computer and I forgot how much I missed visiting the other Daily City Photo sites!

This 'Shoe Tree' is on US Highway 395 between Reno, NV and Susanville, CA. The cast on the tree caught my eye! Normally the tree is full of different shoes and sandals. There have been an occasional ice skate or roller skate, but the cast is a first!

Now let's see how long it takes Cal Trans to tear down the shoes that accumulated over the summer.

Computer issues!

2008-07-29T19:42:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone! My computer died on the 4th of July! I think I can start making some posts using my mom's computer. But I need to see if I can upload my photo's (I have tons!). Hopefully this weekend I will have time to get things going. Not having the Internet available is not fun, lol.

Small town parades are fun!

2008-07-04T16:32:00.000-07:00

I hope everyone is enjoying the 4th of July! Today we went to the annual parade in the town of Chester, CA. Chester is about 30 miles away, or two towns over. It is a really busy place during the summer months because of the resorts, vacation homes, and camp grounds at Lake Almanor.

My kids had a great time. I will post a few more photos tomorrow.

Thunderstorms

2008-06-27T11:47:00.001-07:00

Last weekend this thunderstorm sparked fires all over Northeastern California. Last weekend dry lightening caused 800 fires/incidents throughout California and Northern Nevada. The weather report calls for thunderstorms this weekend. I am not looking forward to that! This is another fantastic photo taken in the car! You can barely see my grandparents car on the road in front of the fire station.

First hay this summer

2008-06-26T09:31:00.000-07:00

The fields around Susanville are being harvested. The summer's first hay is ready to go.

This is a lazy photo. I took it when I was driving to my parents house, lol.

Forest Fire Smoke

2008-06-24T10:54:00.001-07:00

The smoke from a forest fire about 30 miles away is covering Susanville. This photo is from 2 days ago. Yesterday the smoke was even thicker. Hopefully the fires will be out soon.

Forest Fire Season in California

2008-06-23T11:39:00.000-07:00

This weekend hundreds of small fires broke out in Northern California. A huge thunderstorm rolled through the north state. Our little area is nestled at the tip of a long and narrow valley. The smoke from a fire about 30+ miles away is rolling over the mountains and sitting here in the valley. Hopefully the fires can be contained. In August of 1999, Susanville was covered in smoke for 30 days. That was my first summer here and I wondered if we made a mistake moving!

This is a photo of yesterday's sunset.

For an incident map of the current fires, check here: http://www.wildcad.net/?WildWeb=CAPNF

It will take a minute for all the fires to pop up on the map.

Fairy Garden

2008-06-21T21:14:00.000-07:00

My mom has a really nice veggie garden. She has a spot for a Fairy Garden also. The grand kids LOVE it, but no one has seen any fairies yet.

Walker Lake/Dyer Mountian

The Walker Lake/Dyer Mountain area is less then 20 miles outside of Susanville. This area is right next to the small town of Westwood. I am assuming this is the Walker Lake area, I am not very familiar with this area. But I am pretty certain I have it right. Famous last words, right?!! I hope to 'discover' the road to Walker Lake this summer. I need to ask some longtime residents for the directions.

There was a company that planned to develop a year round, 5 star resort on the side of Dyer Mountain. The company went bankrupt, so I doubt this project will happen. In one way it would be great for this county to have more jobs. Since the mills have closed, there hasn't been work for many residents. But on the other hand, this beautiful area across the lake would have condos and a giant hotel. The roads/traffic would be a disaster since the county approved a HUGE project yet made no attempts to fix the winding highways. Many people move to this area because they want a slower paced way of life, same as the long time residents. A year round resort would really change that. There are many other issues, too many to list!!!!

Mt. Lassen

Here is a nice view of Mt. Lassen from state highway 89. This was taken about 35 miles west of Susanville near the small town of Chester, CA. Mt. Lassen and Lassen County (Susanville is the only incorporated town in Lassen County) are named after Peter Lassen, an early pioneer.

Late May is always beautiful in Susanville. We had cold weather for most of May. But the end of May everything was green and blooming. This photo is the wooded area at Inspiration Point. This little park overlooks the city of Susanville from the west end of town.

Here is a view of Susanville from Inspiration Point last year.

This is the view from Skyline Park looking west. The night I took this photo, there was a teenage couple 'parked' in the dirt parking lot next to the bike trail. These kids needed some private time, so they parked next to a BIKE TRAIL! We were crampin' their style standing near the bike trail waiting for the right few minutes to take this photo. LOL

I am still having blogging issues. I cannot open the comments window. I have to right click and then click on 'open in different window.' I also cannot add or edit page elements. I couldn't update the City Daily Photo list back in April. I checked blogger help and blogger groups with no luck. My emails asking for help were not returned. I have two other blogs and I can add and edit page elements on them, but not here. Sigh......If anyone has ideas on what I can do, please leave me a comment.

I am having blog issues! Hopefully I can get them resolved soon!

Do you read Outdoor Life Magazine?

2008-04-22T15:09:00.001-07:00

An article came out in the Lassen County Times today about the magazine Outdoor Life. Needless to say our little town is very pleased being mentioned in a national publication. Outdoor Life listed Susanville as #29 out of 200 as one of the best places for hunters and fisherman to live. They also wrote that Susanville is one of the top, if not the top area to live on the Pacific Coast for hunting and fishing. Fishing season starts this weekend as does the opening of camping season.

Here is another photo of Eagle Lake. Eagle Lake is home to the famous Eagle Lake Rainbow Trout. This photo was taken near Pelican Point. It's a short hike from the paved bike trail down to the water, but its a great area when the Pelicans are there.

Just outside Susanville is Eagle Lake. This is one of our favorite places to spend summer days. We spend alot of afternoons here with our friends. Past this area is a nice sandy beach with a roped off swim area. My kids are already asking when we can go swimming!
