Almanor Diary, Day 7--Friday, August 1, 2003

Sharon, Jack and I took off Friday morning for a hike on the Bizz Johnson trail. We hiked for about four miles along the Susan River. The trail is the old railway right of way from Susanville to Westwood. The hike included both of the old railroad tunnels on the trail.


After the hike, we went into Susanville for lunch and then toured the museum at the trailhead.

In the late afternoon, all of the adults went over the Chabriers (they own a vacation home just up the lake from the Dorado Inn) for cocktails. Danny Hunter had to take off for Mexico at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday and Loren Hunter had a soccer game at 10:00 a.m. As a result, Hunter spent most of the afternoon packing. He stopped at the Chabrier's and then took off for home from there.

Sharon and I made burritos for dinner. Cal and Cheryl, the new owners of the Dorado Inn, joined us for dinner.
