Heather wrote to me the other day and mentioned that on one of her recent adventures, she had roadtripped through the town of Tobin, CA.

Tobin, CA?! How could I be unaware of such a place?



There it is, right on the banks of beautiful Jackass Creek.

Hey, it's a siding for the Feather River Route!
Here's what came up in my search for it:

Is that in Butte County? Feather River makes me think of Chico.
