Brenda and I drove a ways up the dirt road to Humbug Valley to see if the dogwood trees had survived the fires of 2012. Happily, they have! They were still in early stage, with only a few fully blossoming, but it will be great in a couple of weeks! We reached a landing (logging), parked, and climbed a little ridgelet, where I took the following panorama. I moved clockwise as I clicked.

 |
| The view shows the watersheds of Yellow, Little Indian, and Chipps Creeks. The center ridge is of particularly interesting lava construction. |
 |
| Its a world of humps and bumps, and out-of-sight in this view is Humbug Valley. Mount Lassen is so barely visible as to be unsee-able. |
 |
| Sorry if this seems repetitive, but I have to keep moving and snapping. This used to be where we'd come to cut our annual Christmas tree. |
 |
| Moving right along, the lower flank of Red Hill comes into view, as does the watershed down to Caribou |

| Red Hill in full, with the Rich Bar area coming up on the right. |
