Park staff talk with visitors on Saturday at the Day in the Park Festival that was part of the centennial celebration for Lassen Volcanic National Park. By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter MINERAL Hundredsofcarslined the highway through Lassen Vol- canic National Park and parking was limited in several areas Sat- urday during the park's centen- nial celebration that included the return of Day in the Park Festi- val outside the Loomis Museum in the Manzanita Lake area. Visitors from as far as Carson City, Nevada and the Bay Area at- tended the event, many with life- long memories of the park includ- ing Cathy Betts Sapunor of Sacra- mento, whose husband proposed to her on Mount Lassen in 1995. "I've been coming here since I was little," Betts Sapunor said. "We've got a photo of me in the park when I was about a year and a half old. I've been coming since the campground was where some of the older cabins are now. Ex- cept for years of expecting babies, I've coming every year in August." Betts Sapunor's father grew up in Redding where the fam- ily had a floral shop. They used to go to Santa Cruz for vacations until World War II when, due to gas rationing, they went to Las- sen Park instead, she said. On Sat- urday, she had the joy of bring- ing her grandson, who is 3, for his third visit to the park. "We love Lassen," Betts Sa- punor said. "It's one of the best kept secrets and better than Yo- semite. There are nice, family- friendly trails at Manzanita Lake and there are so many good trail heads about 20 feet off the main road in the park. It's immediate immersion into nature and it's a great place to go to try hiking, es- pecially for families." Betts Sapunor said her family loves Lassen Peak and enjoys the Cliff, Shadow and Terrace trails, ranger talks and natural history presentations. She remembers learning about basket weaving from Selena LaMarr, one of the first Native American women to become a naturalist. Judy Bruno of Sunnyvale said she was excited to meet Melanie Allen and have her sign her copy of "Lassen Through The Lens: 100 Years Of Lassen Volcanic Park." She started coming to the park in the 1980s and enjoyed hiking Las- sen Peak back in the day, along with Bumpass Hell, Juniper Lake and almost every trail in the park. Allen, worked as a ranger in the park, said she spent four months putting together the book, which was printed through Joe Vine at The Copy Center in Red Bluff. LASSEN PARK CENTENNIALCELEBRATEDBY RETURN OF DAY IN THE PARK The Associated Press CRESTLINE Smoke plumes roil- ing from flaming ridges of the San Bernardino Mountains blew all the way across the Mojave Des- ert to Las Vegas as California's lat- est big wildfire chewed through timber and brush Monday. Hundreds of firefighters, aided by 16 aircraft, battled flames that spread across 7 square miles on the northern side of the rugged mountain range about 60 miles east of Los Angeles. About 25 homes were ordered evacuated, and authorities rec- ommended voluntary evacuations elsewhere. Helicopters sucked loads of wa- ter from nearby Silverwood Lake to douse flames leaping across slopes. Air tankers swooped low to paint the dry vegetation with pink fire retardant.
