Decent Color Declines

Kentucky Mine, Sierra City (11/2/19) Philip Reedy

“Decent color is getting hard to find,” wrote Philip Reedy of a scouting trip he took through Plumas County. “Most of the color is gone.”

  • N Fork Yuba River, Downieville (11/1/19) Philip Reedy
  • Bassetts Station, CA-49 (11/1/19) Philip Reedy
  • Belden, CA-70 (11/1/19) Philip Reedy
  • La Porte Rd., Plumas County (11/1/19) Philip Reedy
  • Sardine Lake, Plumas County (11/1/19) Philip Reedy

He was surprised, however, by the color surrounding Sardine Lake at 6,000′, from the black oak near Bassetts Station (CA-49) and enveloping the historic buildings at Kentucky Mine in Sierra City (now closed for the season).

And, to show his ride also promotes what he does, Phil – who photographs fly fishing – sent this image of his license plate.
