It's protagonist is very likable- almost too goody goody. I kept thinking there was a plot twist coming- like the father of the dead girl having some nefarious reason for wanting his daughter dead or the murderer coming back to town and kidnapping our protagonist's wife after his jail break??

If you like all the good guys winning and everything tied up in a neat bow with a very straight forward plot line- this is a book for you. I plan to read the next one, just because the protagonist is so endearing. I thought all the rewards in the end were really unrealistic.

There is no way the Feds and police would not get in a pissing match with a volunteer civilian sleuth that made productive headway in a case.

Far to the south, Lassen Peak and the rest of the Mount Tehama rabble line the horizon. On the summit, the ruins of an old lookout are in the latter stages of decay.

From this point, a use trail leads to the east, crossing a saddle to Peak 8, While crossing the saddle, the impressive bowl beneath the summit of Mount Eddy drops off to the north. The bowl often holds snow well into the later parts of the summer and is often there all the way through to winter.

The bowl directly below Peak 8,, which is often referred to as Eddy Bowl, is the uttermost beginning of the Sacramento River. While the views are astounding and are more than enough to make a trip to the summit of Mount Eddy a worthy endeavor, the meadows, lakes and associated scenery en route make the Deadfall Lakes Trails a particularly rewarding outing. Continue north for a couple hundred yards and then turn left onto Stewart Springs Road. After 4 miles, Forest Service Road 17 splits off to the right. Follow this road to the Parks Creek trailhead.

To reach the Deadfall Meadow trailhead, continue on Road 17 for another 1. At the sharp, hairpin turn there will be a small parking lot on the right. The trail is across the road.

Overshadowed, Underrated Black Butte: I Klamath Mountains Pt. Thrown together, these elements combine to create an especially scenic, and in many cases, spectacular landscape. This raises the question as to why there is not a Mount Eddy Wilderness.

If the mountain is worthy of wilderness designation and its special and scenic attributes are worth protecting, why has this not been done? It is not for lack of desire that it has not come to pass. The obstacle to wilderness designation lies in the 19th century. When the Southern Pacific Railroad laid track up the Sacramento River Canyon, the government, as was the normal practice at the time, gave the railroad sections of land by section, I refer to a surveying section, which is one square mile and contains acres creating a checkerboard pattern of alternatingly private and public sections of land.

Additional sections were sold to private individuals who had mining claims. The private inholdings, some of which constitute the heart of the Mount Eddy area, prevented the formation of a contiguous block of land necessary to establish a wilderness area. Even though wilderness organizations have recommended the creation of a Mount Eddy Wilderness, there have been too many roadblocks up until now. The situation has changed in the past few months.

In the fall of , the Shasta-Trinity National Forest acquired more than acres of land around the summit of Mount Eddy from a private owner. The national forest is now negotiating a sale for an additional 2, acres from the same owner. When these sales are completed, the necessary core for a wilderness to be created on Mount Eddy will be present.

Conversations with the relevant personnel at the national forest have revealed that it is their intention to work toward wilderness protection for Mount Eddy once all of the necessary criteria have been met.

The acquisition of the private inholdings is the most significant of these. There will probably be little opposition from private groups since most of the use on Mount Eddy already consists of recreation that would continue after the establishment of the wilderness area.

Of the current uses only snowmobiles and OHV would be restricted.

Of course, wilderness designation requires an act of congress, so even once all of the necessary steps have been taken, it is uncertain when the process will be completed. I count myself one so concerned but this land is already owned by the federal government and will not effect private owners. Indeed, private ownership is what has prevented this action up until now and it is their desire to sell that has initiated the move toward wilderness preservation on Mount Eddy. Porcupine Lake, at the southern end of the proposed wilderness.

What will be included in the Mount Eddy Wilderness? At this point, it is impossible to predict. An early proposal from the Calwild organization included a significant portion of the Scott Mountain north of Mount Eddy. This would have included the Bull Lake and Caldwell Lakes areas. At this point, I think that this becoming a reality is unlikely. Nonetheless, a significant amount of roadless land can be cobbled together that would incorporate most of the Eddy Range.

The wilderness would essentially encompass the crest of the Eddy Range and descend down the upper portions of the North Fork and Middle Forks of the Sacramento River. This area is already prime hiking territory and has many great off-trail scrambles too. The establishment of a Mount Eddy Wilderness would further emphasize the hiking and backpacking use of this land and preserve it in its primeval state.

Mount Shasta viewed from Mount Eddy. There are a few great trails in the area that would constitute the Mount Eddy Wilderness. Most notable is The northern portion of the Eddy section of the PCT leads to the beautiful Deadfall Lakes , one of the prettiest areas in the Northstate. Another trail climbing out of Deadfall Meadows also arrives at the basin, where there are a series of beautiful alpine lakes. From there a trail leads to the summit of Mount Eddy and the finest view anywhere in the Northstate I think it is better than the view from Mount Shasta because you can actually see Mount Shasta.

The Sisson-Callahan Trail also climbs out of Deadfall Basin and descends into the canyon of the North Fork of the Sacramento, which it then follows all the way to the main fork of the river, 12 miles distant. There are also great off trail scrambles to grand but elusive lakes like Little Crater, Dobkins and Durney Lakes. It is an area ripe for exploration.
