More from Eagle Lake
The remainder of my phone pictures from September 2023, showing the area of Spalding Marina and the view from Dow Butte. The informational sign shown above reads as follows: Eagle Lake sits at about 5,110 feet above sea level in beautiful northeastern California, about 16 miles north of Susanville in Lassen County.

Lassen County, looking back
Back in early September 2023 I spent a week with the Big Guy next to Eagle Lake, in Lassen County.
