First off, you should note I work on Eagle lake, which is close to Susanville, so when we 'head to town' we really mean we drive to Susanville, which is the equivalent to driving to Portage, WI back home, except there's literally NOTHING in between Camp Ronald and Susanville.
-Susanville used to be called Roopville [weird, I know.]
-There are two prisons in Susanville. And I have already visited one of them. [We had to get fingerprinted the first week for background checks.]
-For every happy meal sold in the northern Cali/nevada area, one cent is donated towards Camp Ronald McDonald.
-We're at about 5000 feet in altitude, so we have to adjust our cooking to account for the altitude sometimes, which is good practice.
-California has pinecones the size of my arm. Literally. I'm bringing home/shipping back pinecones. We have one already on our bookshelf downstairs from California, but now I'll have my own.
-Eagle Lake is the third largest lake in California, or so I've been told. The third deepest is Lake Almanor, where I have boated, sailed and camped the last two weekends.
-Northern California has the strangest weather in June. At one point in time it had hailed three out of the ten days. Some days it's 41 degrees and others, like today, it's in the 90's.
-The mountain net door looks kinda big, kind of small, But once we climbed it, we found out you can't even see a lot of it from the ground. It keeps going. And going. And going.
