We left Santa Rosa on Tuesday, the 28th, to explore northern California following several parts of 'The Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway', one of twenty-eight 'All-American Roadways' in the nation. The Feather River Scenic Byway follows Hwy. 70 from the North Fork of the Feather River's deep canyons up into the Sierras - beautiful views and no guard rails! Our goal was Susanville - Jim found a delightful B&B online and we spent a pleasant two nights at Roseberry House.
Susanville is the Lassen County seat and a rough 'n tumble town full of history, lumber mills, loggers, and cowboys. Pioneer Isaac Roop built the first home here in 1854, naming the town and river after his daughter Susan. We missed the annual Susan's Birthday Celebration which celebrates all Susans and their birthdays with the annual Susan Parade - Guess we will just have to come back!
