State Parks, Historic Sites, and Museums need your help.

Throughout the country, important state parks, historic sites, homes, buildings, and museums are in trouble. Because of the recent rise in gasoline prices and the general world-wide financial collapse, state parks, historic sites, and museums are in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Most operate on a thin margin and will not weather these hard times without your help.

Places Earth recently encountered closed state parks in Arizona and California is threatening to close all state parks. The story is similar throughout the country.

Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please find a worthy local or distant historic site or museum that is in financial danger and donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep these parks open. It will be your loss.

Highway 395 continues through Lassen County with Sierra County and Nevada to the south and Modoc County to the north. Highway 395 starts many miles south near Victorville in San Bernardino County near Los Angeles and continues through Oregon. Once north of Reno, Nevada, Highway 395 passes through sparsely populated regions and traffic is light as the highway winds through wide open and high and dry ranch lands.
Marker to the Noble Emigrant. This trail was used in 1852 by emigrants to Northern California seeking a better route than the Lassen Trail. Later it became known as the Fort Kearny South Pass and Honey Lake Wagon Road. California Registered Historical Landmark # 677. Plaque placed by California State Park Commission and the Lassen County Historical Society on August 15, 1959.
