Bizz Johnson Trail
Day 2
 
 The Bizz Johnson Trail is truly heading up into Paul Bunyan territory I did not know that till I started seeing everything Paul Bunyan everywhere lol. The Bizz Johnson today is a thirty mile trail that begins at Susanville and ends at the town of Westwood. Where the rails once laid in its place is now a bike trails which follows the old Fernley and Lassen Branch Line of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
 
I would not be able to hike the entire trail and I did not have my bike either or it would have been a consideration. However being that there is over 100 types of bird species especially falcons and hawks its a good wildlife viewing area no matter where you hike here. Although I have to admit I had a difficult time photographing birds here there is allot of trees, foliage and people so they really do not stay still for to long. I seen this red and orange bird tried to get its photo it moved three times so this place is a birding challenge. But their is also various lizards and butterflies here as well so it was totally worthwhile.  
 
The trail itself continues to follow and cross the Susanville River as you cross old trestles and eventually come up on a couple of massive tunnels that go through the mountains found further onto the trail. I would hike nearly seven miles in then seven miles out this is because I had other plans and locations to journey at so our day had just begun.
 
When you park at the entrance you park at the visitor center that being the old Susanville Depot where the trail begins. The depot was closed and it was a Saturday I was a bit confused because today its more like a museum of what once was and I just could not get any photos of the inside so I am sorry as I had hoped to do. Near the depot is an old beat up Union Pacific Caboose man I love those things my father as a kid use to take me to watch the cabooses on Conrail back in the day now they are almost nonexistent.
 
The train tracks do traverse for about a half of mile as they go past the depot dead ending and towards Westwood for quite a ways nearing the first trestle you cross which goes over a road. There is also a few small ranches along the way before you really get into this deep canyon which is surrounding on both sides by steep volcanic cliffs or the river on the north or south end depending on where you cross it at. The views are precious but you really cant see anything but at times the narrow canyon walls that creep up on you and one could picture a train coming through here.
 
We also passed a hobo camp its even labeled that and along the way you might find some remnants of the railroad left behind. According to what I read their were many small lumber camps along the way some of those camps served like small hamlets and people spent weeks to months living in them. So its important that I also try to focus some of my energy into maybe getting something paranormal on the trail as energy may be present!
 
I will say one thing it was Spring so the flowers were blooming and I took allot of pictures of them. I am a flower guy what can I say. Its important we as investigators log all life in these locations whether that is bigfoot or some plant species were here to educate others and give them the feeling that they are present with us on our expeditions.
 
My goal would be to hike on up to the old train tunnel which goes through what appears to be a massive mountain that may have been a volcanic or a part of a volcano at one time. The rocks are all very rigid and today lichen grows on them. On the west side of the tunnel the rocks are very black to dark brown so one could see how this canyon was shaped by the elements over time.
 
For me it was my first journey into Lassen so this meant new bird life and one big playground for me to explore. I did journey off into the woods beyond the river as on the south side its steep but you can climb out of here and go right up into the national forest. Now with the river nearby and allot of wildlife its possible that bigfoot passed through here at one time when the railroad was operational and tracks lined this trail.
 
I found an old foundation off in the woods so somebody had a homestead back here probably or lumber business. The thing is you really have to explore but the negative to this all is that by noon the first three miles their is about 50 people walking around and if you go seven in you really will not see anyone which for me is great since I need time alone to do the work that we do here at PGS.
 
We crossed all together about five to seven trestles/bridges as some were quiet lengthy and traveled right over the river as it meandered is this woodsy canyon. I never felt so serene in my life just to hear the river flowing and to enjoy a stroll in scenic Susanville. Bizz Johnson played a very important role in having these abandoned rail line turned into a trail and now I understand why. Its a world in itself and the gateway to it is through Susanville itself. Once you leave town your in the jungle at least that is what many of the old pioneers referred this area as.
 
The tunnel itself was very dark you could see some small sunlight on the other end but walking through it was cold and dank just like any train tunnel I been in. It was very dark I had a flashlight but decided instead to film and talk to our viewers. The train tunnel itself must had been a massive undertaking its hundreds of feet long, over 25' in height and is made with concrete and massive wood beams to reinforce it. I did take some EVP here nothing to serious but in the past few years I have done some haunted train tunnels out west so their are some based on my research.  It was a long tunnel its obvious where blasting was done in the volcanic rocks a second tunnel or sister one is further down the trail from this one perhaps one might be more haunted then the other? One must wonder!
 
I seen a couple lone folks riding there bike but the trek back was brutal as it had gotten quite warm out by the afternoon. Its a bit of a hard hike to do the trees surround the cliff sides and river but not so much the trail because the train use to pass through here. We had a long ways to get back to the jeep but I took my time enjoying all the wildlife. But be warned the closer you hike towards the Susanville Depot the more folks your going to see so if you want privacy here you wont get it unless your willing to hike very more in depth towards Westwood which is nothing but wilderness the entire way.

Not sure how many falcons or hawks I seen but one thing is prevalent and that is the fact that these birds spend all day long circling their prey right over the canyon. I even seen an eagles nest in the canyon so they must have those as well here. One thing stood out throughout the entire hike and that was allot of vultures kept circling over the trail. They are abundant in the skies here so pay attention. Tammy saw a young buck watching us over the cliff when I rolled the cameras and looked up it was gone but that just proves your never really alone on this quiet trail.

When I made it about half way to jeep this area you pass through along the river has high cliffs, dense forest and some peaks that summit over the rail trail was movement in the brush. I am not talking about a small little deer or squirrel but rather something very large broke a bunch of branches as if we startled it. I did end up throwing a rock and trying to get whatever it was to come out. I was not going into the high brush and dense growth along the river as I also told Tammy this might be a mountain lion stalking us. Whether it was a wild animal or maybe sasquatch are mere speculations but I will not discount that something big was lurking in the brush while hiking back to Susanville.
 
This was a fantastic adventure a little bit of urban exploration really nothing more. But then again those that do not go out there journeying will never find the strange or get to see a once in a lifetime event. Were a paranormal adventure group so you get it all the history, beauty and journey as a whole. I cant say this place has activity its quite possible as I am sure at night this place can get quite eerie with the canyon walls closing in on you. I highly recommend you watch our documentary so you can see parts of this journey that fill in some of the spaces that may not be in our report.

Some odd markings in the cliffs along the trail. They could be caused by early machinery or the men who maybe carved out the canyon so that the train could pass through it. I just thought the markings were a bit odd looking.
God not dead? If you walk along the canyon walls you will find that their is grafitti on some of them like this one you see with the cross.  Allot of the cliffs along the trail have been carved to make room for the trains.

A Saint Bernard I found on the trail chasing this animal into the brush. I am not sure what it is since it kind of darted but the dog did not miss a beat he chased it with his nose to the woodline along the trail.
