A Blessing

Spanish Creek, Plumas County (10/14/21) Michael Beatley

Although the Dixie fire rampaged across northern Plumas County, incinerating much of the forest and leveling Greenville, the fire stopped short of Spanish Creek.

Plumas County color spotter Michael Beatley reports that he hiked the Cascade trail yesterday from the Old Keddie Highway to Barlow Rd off CA-70.

There, “the fire kissed the trailhead at Keddie, but the remainder of the trail and hillsides were unscathed. A blessing. The Indian Rhubarb is nearing peak and beautiful as always.”
