    Oroville Carnegie Library, or as it is now the Butte County Public Law Library. I'm always on the lookout for Carnegie libraries on my travels. We could sure use more Andrew Carnegies today. Talking to you, all you billionaires. #Oroville #ButteCounty #California #architecture #history #Carnegie #ClassicalRevival #library #NationalRegisterofHistoricPlaces

  4. Scenes from Oroville, CA
    Oroville State Theatre, opened in 1928. Lovingly restored. It's on the National Register of Historic Places. I wished I could have seen the inside. I kept finding more interesting things as I was walking and driving around the area. #history #architecture #SpanishColonialRevival #NationalRegisterofHistoricPlaces #NRHP #theatre #theater #neon #Oroville #ButteCounty #California #GoldCountry

  5. Scenes from Oroville, CA
    The indigenous California peoples harvested acorns and ground the meal on stone mortars using stone pestles. One of the saddest stories is Ishi, the the last known member of the Native American Yahi people. In 1911, aged 50, he emerged at a barn and corral, 2 mi from downtown Oroville. The rest of the Yahi were killed in the California genocide in the 19th century. #NativeAmerican #indigenouspeople #indigenous #Oroville #California #acorn #ButteCounty #history

  6. Scenes from Oroville, CA
    The Mother Orange Tree is the oldest living orange tree in Northern California. Planted in 1856, and transplanted twice from its original location. My Dad moved from Michigan to California in 1954. He loved the fact that he could grow citrus fruit in our backyard. So, we always had orange and lemon trees in our backyard and fresh citrus fruit right from the tree. #citrus #MotherOrangeTree #GoldCountry #Oroville #California #ButteCounty #history #landmark

  7. Scenes from Oroville, CA
    Firefighters staying at the hotel where I stayed in Oroville on 8/15/24. They were fighting the Park Fire, an arson caused fire that started on 7/24/24 and to date has burned 429,603 acres, the fourth largest in recorded California history. The trucks are from San Bernardino County Fire Department. #ParkFire #wildfire #handcrew #firefighters #SanBernadino #Oroville #ButteCounty #firetrucks #California

  8. Scenes from Oroville, CA
    The Jewish Cemetery in Oroville. I stopped to take a few photos in the not ideal harsh afternoon sunlight. With my limited time (work trip), I tried to find as many interesting things (to me) as I could in Oroville. And surprisingly, there were many. #photography #cemetery #Jewish #Oroville #California #SacramentoValley #ButteCounty #GoldCountry #history #GoldRush

  9. Scenes from Oroville, CA
    The Historic Oroville Inn, now used as a student dormitory. I suspect the students are with the Northwest Lineman College in Oroville. I was driving around and happened to come across their training area. The Oroville Inn opened in 1930 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. #photography #Oroville #SacramentoValley #architecture #NRHP #NationalRegisterofHistoricPlaces #history #California #lineman

    I was just a little too late for the Reptile Expo. But this little lizard in the wild made up for that, the western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis). #photography #reptiles #herps #lizards #ReptilianNationExpo #Oroville #California #SacramentoValley #ButteCounty

  11. From my work trip to Oroville, CA a couple weeks ago, or so. I drove by this old, abandoned dry cleaner shop several times over the course of a couple days. I wanted to stop and take photos. When the sunset light looked right, I stopped. #photography #signs #abandoned #evening #sign #Oroville #drycleaner #SacramentoValley #California #GooglePixel #rust #neon

  17. July 29 late afternoon. Interactive #GIS map shows satellite *heat* detection for #EagleBluffFire near #Oroville WA.

    Some heat detections are likely smoke in the air but not fire on the ground (at least yet). But with that said, never rely on any map to ignore an order to evacuate.

    Please read the “Map tips” link and “Legend” in upper left corner.
