What’s “lost” about it? That area is overrun with tourists, hikers, campers, hunters, ranchers, and townies.
Dad, in the 1910s was raised in Chester-Westwood-Lake Almanor.
40-50-60 years ago, it was pretty remote; last time we were there, about 20 years ago, a lot of the dirt roads had been paved. On the back roads from Paradise to Butte meadows (several housing developments where we used to camp & hunt), and on to Susanville, we had a lot of traffic.
“That area is overrun with tourists, hikers, campers, hunters, ranchers, and townies.”
Unlike the Lost Coast, which is truly out in the sticks.
And nobody is there.
Almost no paved roads.
