August 9th trip to Antelope Lake and Red Rock Lookout


Grant and I arrived here after a trip to Susanville, and took the northern road around the top of Antelope Lake. The area has burned 3 times since 1999, with the result being that a lot of trees are gone. However, signs of life have emerged in the earlier burns.

We then drove up into the area where the Moonlight Fire burned last year and ended up at Red Rock Lookout, which is manned by the father of one of our roommates. For those of you who are squeamish about narrow mountain roads and even narrower Lookout access, this in the one to visit!

Really low water levels!!
This rock (granite) cracked in the heat of the fire.

The blue bands are marked trees that will stay when logging is done
