USA Day 6: First stop after breakfast (with shabby coffee): Taco Bell! Easy to reach thanks to the numerous food exits on the highway. Convenient!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Next, we crossed the California border and continued towards Lassen National Forest. A large part of the forest here has burned down, which looks really frightening. According to Vista Point, this happens every 10-15 years. The last fire was in 2009 and was called the Sugar Loaf Fire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For lunch, we stopped at a waterfall and relaxed a bit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Towards evening, we looked for a romantic spot to sleep and found a hotel in a very, very, very small gold rush town, founded around 1850.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The hotel itself was built in 1874, and an elderly woman opened the door for us. With a smoky and eerie voice, she told us the history of the hotel and each of the rooms. One room is said to be haunted; there, the water needs 15 minutes to warm up. She has seen an old woman sitting by the window in the hallway several times. Oh my God!<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it was the only hotel in the small town of Greenville. And so we spent the night huddled together, shivering (with fear and cold).<\/p>\n

Previously, we ordered a pizza at a small diner to regain our strength for the adventurous night ahead.<\/p>\n
