The start of fire season!

The start of the 2007 Fire Season is upon us! Spot fires from lightening started a small fire near my house. It seems to have been contianed by the CDF. They had a helicopter, CDF crews, and looks like an inmate crew on the scene pretty quickly. I will have to keep an eye on the hill tonight just to be sure its out! It's been awhile since we have been evacuated for fires, so cross your fingers!

This is the nature area behind the school. Its just down the street from us.

The Subway Caves & Burney Falls

If you have never visited the Hat Creek Subway Caves or McArthur-Burney Falls State Park, then you should! The campgrounds and rv parks along Hat Creek are amazing! Lake Britton is just below Burney Falls. It is a great campground. This spring the state revamped a few of the campground areas and upgraded the facilities at Lake Britton. It was really busy at the falls on Memorial Day weekend, which made photographing much almost impossible. But its always a great spot to visit no matter how large the crowd.
