State Route 299 (SR 299) is an east–west state highway in the U.S. state of California that runs across the northern part of the state. At 305.777 miles (492.100 km), it is the third longest California state route, after Route 1 and Route 99, and the longest east-west route. Route 299's western terminus is at US 101 at the northern edge of Arcata, and its eastern terminus is at the Nevada state line at a point east of Cedarville. Between Arcata and Redding, Route 299 intersects with State Route 96, and is briefly co-signed with State Route 3. In Redding, it intersects with State Route 273, State Route 44, and Interstate 5. East of Redding, it intersects with State Route 89, and a section is co-signed with State Route 139 before reaching Alturas. It is then co-signed with U.S. Route 395 northeast of Alturas, and then runs east through Cedarville and to the border with Nevada. A ghost town, Vya, Nevada, can be reached via this route, which after the border becomes a dirt road, which was formerly Nevada State Route 8A. The segment of SR 299 between Arcata and Redding is the Trinity Scenic Byway, a National Forest Scenic Byway.

On a foggy drive in Lassen County, California, USA, I stopped for a roadside leg stretch near the Dreamcatcher Wild Horse and Burro Sanctuary. The animals there have endured a great deal between their time on the open range to their current home. They have become somewhat accustomed to humans but they are still more cautious than most domestic horses are. This chestnut horse was interested in me but somewhat tentative at approaching and paused momentarily to peer at me from the fog a few moments before ultimately deciding I wasn’t a threat and walking over to see if I had something to feed it.

I like the minimalistic feel of the image and hope someone else does as well.

The Moran Brothers last hurrah by Greg Brown Via Flickr: Flooding in late December 1996 put the Shasta Route and the Feather River Canyon out of service. Aside from going to Salt Lake, the only way to get up and down the west coast by rail was a detour over Donner Pass and the Modoc Line. For a couple of weeks, the Modoc Line was busier than it had ever been. In this image, an eastbound (southbound) passes a train parked in Moran siding. Most of the detour trains ran in fleets of five or six at a time, generally at speeds of 15-20 MPH. Any railfans that were there experienced the ultimate Modoc turkey shoot. Alas, on July 1, 1997, Union Pacific closed the Modoc for good as a through route. The rails were removed a few years later.

Western grebes are very common in the lakes around northern California. Summer months are their mating season. I’ve always found their mating displays and courtship rituals to be quite interesting. Pairs do a little “weed ceremony” where they dive together, come up with weeds and sort of wave them at each other. I caught these two getting quite amorous with each other at Eagle Lake in Lassen County, California, USA on a late July morning.

Nubieber (formerly, Big Valley City and New Town) is a census-designated place in Lassen County, California. It is located at the common terminus of the Western Pacific Railroad and the Great Northern Railway Bieber Line 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of Bieber, at an elevation of 4121 feet (1256 m). Its population is 19 as of the 2020 census, down from 50 from the 2010 census.

The settlement was established in 1931, when the railroads were built to the place. The first post office opened the same year. The name was a version of "New Bieber". The first person born in the settlement was Shirley Patrica Warren, daughter of Rex and Beulah Warren.
