I passed through a nice town called Susanville, Calif., tucked away in valley, with snow capped mountains all around. It seemed like the idyllic kind of mountain town you'd want to settle down in. Deer and antelope roaming the very streets (well, nearly). The people were so happy there, it scared the hell out of me. I got a haircut while I was in town. Apparently Sally was the daughter of one Roop, who was the first Governor of Nevada. He founded the city, extended the Nevada border to include the town, and there then followed a sage brush war. Californians and Nevadans through sagebrush at each other until they sorted it out......Hey! That's the way the story goes! Also, there's a weird lake outside town, Honey Lake, which is like an alkili flat. Like a lake of sand instead of water. Weird to look at, but I didn't get a good pic. Here's my attempt. That there in the foreground is sage brush.
