The Adventure Continues… Wild Horse Sanctuary
Huell’s visit to the Wild Horse Sanctuary in Shingletown was quite a long time ago — the episode originally aired October 2, 2005. But this amazing refuge, established back in 1978, is still going strong today; and it’s open to the public for trail rides and other special events. Of course, being a nonprofit organization, they welcome any donations or […]
At home on the range
It’s not the type of terrain I normally fall in love with, but just look at the beautiful sagebrush hills and plains near Lassen County’s Eagle Lake!

But in addition to the permanent exhibit, the museum also features the work of other artists. From January 28 to April 30, 2023, it hosted a traveling mixed-media exhibit called The Curious […]
