Some more of Antelope Complex Fire aka Wheeler Fire

Honey Lake Valley/Janesville covered in smoke around Noon.





Janesville, CA covered in smoke on July 6th. The smoke is from the Antelope Complex Fire near Antelope Lake. That is such a bummer. Antelope Lake is an amazing place to fish, boat, and camp. (Check my June posts for a nice pic of the lake) It hasn't recovered from the fire that burned a good portion of the recreation area a few years ago.








Antelope Complex Fire aka Wheeler Fire





























Thunderstorms on July 5, 2007 sparked numerous fires in Plumas County. A fire near Antelope Lake, about 20 miles south of Susanville is a pretty large fire. The Sacramento Bee is calling it the Antelope Complex Fire, and local news are calling it the Wheeler Fire. The last report had it burning nearly 4,000 acres and less then 10% contained.

The smoke and clouds made for an amazing sunset!

4th of July







I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! We had a nice time. We spent the afternoon at Denise's house, tons of kids, tons, of food, and lots of fun! We did fireworks at her house, then went up to the BLM parking lot to watch the fireworks show at the fairgrounds. We had great seats and the kids loved it!

I forgot my tri-pod, and my photos aren't very good. Sitting still enough to get a great shot is not that easy. But a few of the photos were interesting looking, so I will post those!
So we get home close to 11 pm and my refrigerator is not on. Its plugged in, nothin! So we try a different outlet and nothin! I tried my blender on the same outlet and nothin! I was so glad it was an easy fix. Dave flipped the fuse box and we were good to go. I am not sure how long it off, everything was still cold.

Spending an afternoon at the lake....











We went up to Eagle Lake to walk on the bike trail and hang out. It was windy & cold, so we didn't go swimming. The kids had a great time climbing on the rocks and checking out the wildlife. We saw pelicans, lake birds, a bunny, & tons of chipmunks.

Mt. Lassen



I took this photo of Mt. Lassen last October. It was an overcast day and valley residents were burning trash piles. The smoke was on the valley floor and the clouds were hiding the top part of the volcano. We hiked up to the Hat Creek Rim Scenic Outlook rest stop, they must lock the gates in late September. During the summer months, the outlook has telescopes. You can see Mt. Lassen on right and Mt. Shasta on the left. Talk about an amazing view!
