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

[awitham at postnetburney.net (Andrew Witham)]

With a pretty good sprinkling of rain over the weekend and snow still
forecast for below 6,000 ft later today, we should see this burn tail off
significantly.  The air improved greatly as much of the drift smoke in the
Burney basin disappeared overnight - in fact we had several areas of low
cloud due to inversion layers in the area this morning - it was a beautiful
fall morning in the Burney basin.

There wasn't enough rain to start any season springs just yet - but more
rain is forecast for next weekend, and a 'warm' upper 70's spell in the
meantime - great weather to be outside (and I'm in the office).

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.
