We are heading into the teeth of a storm, going up to Cassel CA prepped with a 20’x20’ tarp. We had a doozie of a storm last year about the same time but that was a one day event, albeit complete with hail, thunder and lightening. 
This is what it looked like last week.
The biggest thrill was being in Hat Creek as a family of 8 -10 river otters swam by. Second biggest was hearing two bald eagles court.
