1. Wow, great outing!

I remember a movie once, "The Charge at Feather River" It was a 3D movie. I wonder if this is the same river? Well, I realize it was fictional, but still. Feather River is just a great name for a river, and I see by your pictures that it lives up to its name. I love the foggy mist picture.

2. Yes! Found the movie trailer on the tube checking some of the resort options up round there

3. Love the moss and rock textures.

These pictures remind me of when I lived out in the woods. That wonderful damp, green smell of everything, especially after a storm when the air is so clean.

It's so beautiful there. Thanks for posting these.

4. Nice!

I know that region well. We have a place at Lake Almanor and just love it there. Spectacular and not anywhere near as crowded as Tahoe.

6. OMG we drove round Almanor on our way to Quincy down from Alturas through Susanville...

Then back to the 'T', and down into Chico :bounce: Almanor is really pretty you are so right no where near as crowded as Tahoe lovely area round Lake Almanor :hi:
