Upon arriving at a relaxing natural hot springs spa motel, we had an interesting sight to see - clouds overhead with the sun peeking at random spots.
A lot of people get to see this in many places in the world, though its something we don't get often an opportunity to see in the city. Somewhere like this plateau of Surprise Valley in remote north-eastern Califoria gets this sight often I bet, with such wide open spaces, and mountains surrounding in all directions there's probably views more often even better than this.
Hopefully we'll get to go back again soon to more properly get some pictures 
from this area. Passing through the area in a bit of a rush was somewhat regrettable, though during this trip through California and Arizona, we did see a lot. At least we know now where to go to see or do what!
To the right is probably the first picture I've ever completely removed colour from on this site. Somehow the picture seemed better for it. No combination of tint/temperature adjustments seemed to work right for it.
If you ever happen to be passing through this area (very unlikely, but possible!), drop in to the Surprise Valley Spa. It comes well recommended!
In the distance can be seen the village of Cedarville.. population roughly 100 or so. Like many remote California villages, it doesn't matter how small the community is, you get a sign with elevation and population. Lowest I can seem to recall said 17 for population. Elevation in these pictures were roughly 5,500 feet.
