Geocache Description:

This is a geocache within the first quarter mile of the Bizz Johnson Trail leaving from the Susanville train depot.

This is a geocoin exchange, designed to let cachers discover or exchange geocoins. Please trade geocoins for geocoins. Please be considerate of other geocachers traveling to this site and lets try to keep a couple of coins in the cache at all times. However if a coin has reached its maturity of deposit (around 30 days or so), please withdraw them and deposit elsewhere.

THE BIZZ JOHNSON TRAIL
This trail follows the old Fernley and Lassen Branch Line of the Southern Pacific Railroad, the trail winds 25.4 miles from Susanville to Mason Station. The trail then follows existing roads for an additional 4.5 miles into Westwood where a railroad station type kiosk and a 25-foot carved rewood statue of Paul Bunyan mark the Westwood trailhead.

Most of the trail traverses the rugged Susan River Canyon with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and reminders of the railroad and logging days of the past. The entire grade is usable as a hiking and equestrain trail. Horseback riders, hikers, joggers, and mountain bicyclists use the trail.

The trail is named in hohor of former Congressman Harold T. "Bizz" Johnson who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1958 to 1980. Congressman Johnson was instrumental in the successful establishment of this rails-to-trails project. The BLM and Lassen National Forest now jointly manage the Bizz Johnson Trail.

Be sure to discover the muliple other geocaches along the Bizz Johnson Trail.
