Reno, Red Bluff Routes are only Passable Roads
January 9, 1930
Advise use of chains to those using these highways. O. A. Fisher of the Susanville branch of the California State Automobile Association stated Thursday morning that only two roads were open out of Susanville.
The highway to Reno is traversable, but it was advised that all cars using this route be equipped with chains and other necessities for winter travel.
Travelers on the Red Bluff road are also warned not to attempt the trip without the use of chains. The snow line extends to Payne’s Creek.
The warning for motorists using this highway came from E. J. Gribble, state highway engineer. It was also added that the trip could be made from Susanville to Red Bluff comfortably in 4 ½ or five hours.
Plows are on the highway and are keeping fairly well ahead of the snowfall which began Thursday morning.
All the rest of the roads from Susanville are closed and the Quincy, Greenville and Westwood route is also impassable.
