[pct-l] Section N - Highway 70 to Burney Falls

[jomike at cot.net (JoAnn M.)]

At present there is a fire burning in Lassen National Park. They are NOT fighting it so it will "reduce forest fuels". In today's Redding Searchlight (Redding.com) they stated it has burned 307 acres - by now it will probably be much larger. The weather forecast is for a 70% of snow on Monday. The fire is at Horseshoe Lake at about 7000'.

I would guess virtually all seasonal water sources are dry by now (I found none when I did a day hike in the Hwy 89/44 Hat Creek area), but with cooler and wetter forecasts for this weekend (rain) maybe things will be changing soon.

Don't hesitate to contact me off line for any information I might possibly have. Also, WeatherBug might be of help.  Checking the 7 day forecast, next Friday they are predicting a high in the 80's!  The joy of the changing seasons - you never what you'll find outside your door   :)
