Does It Snow In Cottonwood?

The answer is "occasionally" and this was that one "occasional" day about a month ago. When I got home there was snow on the streets and driveways throughout Lake California. This is what I saw from our deck to the back yard. (Just click on the pictures for a larger view).

The Highway To Mineral

Recently I had stops in both Paynes Creek and Mineral. The picture you see was taken at about 2500 feet on Highway 36 East just outside Paynes Creek. Mineral will be another 18 miles further and about 2000 feet higher. On this clear and beautiful day you are seeing Mt Lassen. (Just click on the picture for a larger view).
