The Lights of Lassen County

For most of the past two and a half years, I've been commuting monthly between The Homestead and 420 Grand.  The latter is located in Lassen County, California, which is named for Peter Lassen, a Danish immigrant and pioneer who established the "Lassen Cutoff" of the California Trail.  Lassen was murdered in the Black Rock Desert in 1859, but his grave can be found on the edge of a meadow between Susanville and Janesville.  On Saturday, VSO and I visited the grave before returning to southern Utah.  I'm sure we'll return to Lassen County from time to time but, now that I am working in Utah again, it was the last of the monthly commutes.
