Good to hear Government over reach is coming to an end...
Maybe now we can get moving forward with our project and we can all go horse camping!

The Supreme Court's overturning of the "Chevron Deference" is a very big deal because it curtails the ability of unelected bureaucrats in federal agencies to write laws and/or enforce their arbitrary interpretations of ambiguous laws. Click on this link for more on the case.

Today our project was approved and will move to the next step!
A step closer to making a dream...
A place to visit nature at it's finest.
A place to spend a night or more to gaze at the stars where there is a dark sky.
A place to rise with the sun and ride to the top of a mountain or down to a stream so bring your pole and fish the local stream for natural trout.
This picture may be of the Rockies but reminds me of Lassen Peak.
Thank you God for your many Blessings.

They forgot to add Clear Creek but at this point the only service is wine tasting.
Who knows what the future will bring!
“The Lost Sierra Route is different in that it’s a ‘Trail for Everyone,’ from equestrians and hikers to cyclists and dirt bikers,” according to a statement released by SBTS.
“Also, unlike the [Pacific Crest Trail] or [John Muir Trail], the Lost Sierra Route will find its way onto ‘Main Street’ in every town, bringing trail users into the heart of the town for accommodations and resupply opportunities, helping fuel a much-needed economic engine.”

The Lost Sierra Trail will connect 15 communities in the lesser known region of the Sierras from Tahoe to Lassen.

The Lost Sierra Trail is coming through Clear Creek in the near future and hopefully we will be able to accommodate hikers, bikers and equestrians with overnight accommodations.
Stay tuned for further updates.

It’s hard to beat the scenic grandeur of the Northern Sierra Mountain Range — and there will soon be a brand-new way to experience it: The Lost Sierra Route. For the first time, regular hikers will have access to some of the region’s undiscovered wilderness areas and pristine alpine lakes. Rig...

There are some people who only feel horses are dirty, smelly, fly attractors and have no clue how healing they can be. I hope the residents of Clear Creek understand what we are trying to do.

Recent studies conducted by the Institute of Heart-Math provide a clue to explain the two-way ′′healing′′ that occurs when we're close to horses.
According to researchers, the heart has an electromagnetic field larger than the brain: a magnetometer can measure the energy field of the heart that radiates from 2.4 meters to 3 meters around the human body.
While this is certainly significant, perhaps more impressive than the electromagnetic field projected by the heart of a horse is five times larger than that of a human being (imagine an electromagnetic sphere around the horse) and it can influence straight into our own heart rate.
Horses are also likely to have what science has identified as a "coherent′′ heart rate (heart rate pattern) that explains why we can feel better when we're close to them. Studies have found a coherent heart pattern or HRV to be a solid measure of well-being and consistent with emotional states of calm and joy-that is, we exhibit such patterns when we feel positive emotions.
A coherent heart pattern is indicative of a system that can recover and adapt to stressful situations very efficiently. Many times, we just need to be in the presence of horses to feel a sense of well-being and peace.
In fact, research shows that people experience many physiological benefits by interacting with horses, including lower blood pressure and heart rate, higher beta-endorphins (neurotransmitters acting as pain suppressors), decreased stress levels, decreased feelings of anger, hostility, tension and anxiety, better social working; and greater feelings of empowerment, confidence, patience and self-efficacy.

The Dixie Fire raced through the Caribou Wilderness and the local BCHC groups are busy clearing trails. There's lots of down and dangerous trees so be careful if you are riding or hiking the area.
BDH ShastaTrinity are planting Fingerling fish in the lakes for some fantastic fishing next year.

Rebuilding Trails after a Wildfire. How volunteer equine groups help repair trails and why you should join them. Fire restoration is important, here's why.

It's National Paul Bunyan Day...
Westwood is just around the corner...
July 2nd is our local Logging & Music Festival
Mountain & Blues Festival Logging Show

Today is National Paul Bunyan Day! We all may fondly remember the tales of the giant lumberjack, Paul Bunyan, and his trusted companion, Babe, the blue ox. Shout out to our Westwood community, where logging was a big part of their history. Westwood proudly displays a large statue of the famous duo on Hwy 36, west of Susanville, CA.
