Today I drove up to a parking lot on the outskirts of chico and parked my car at a place called…read more"Butte Creek Watershed Lookout." I parked my car and decided to hike out onto the cliffs of what people had told me was a small canyon, but appeared to be a pretty big canyon. As I walked on the rocks it was extremely hot but i was enjoying the heat. I found a small piece of shade in a crevasse of the cliffs and I sat down and pulled out my black book and decided to start drawing the canyon. I made a very abstract drawing and was surprisingly pleased with how it came out. The canyon was a beautiful place to sit above and watch as the hawks flew high and the vultures scavenged for food. My binoculars came in hand (even though I prefer to use them backwards for a fisheye effect) as I was able to get a close look and the beautiful birds flying around me. It was a very nice place to take a breathe and let go of my thoughts for a little while. The view of the canyon was like nothing I had ever seen before. If you are into nature, which everyone should be, I highly recommend taking a trip to this lookout. It is a great place for someone to sit and eat food, read a book, gaze at nature, meditate, or simply just watch the sunset and appreciate the beauty around us. If I had to rate this place on a scale of 1 to 24 I would not hesitate to give it a 22. I plan on returning to the same spot on the cliff at least once a week in order to get away from the stressful everyday tasks. I hope you get the chance to do the same. Sincerely, Travis Nealon

I really learned a lot about worms at The Worm Farm. We showed up just a bit before 5pm and they stayed late to give us a complete tour of the facility.

I highly recommend The Worm Farm to anyone who has an interest in agriculture, horticulture or those who are just plain curious. They have a nice selection of products to purchase for your home garden too. If you have kids I am sure they would love to visit The Worm Farm! What a treat!

I'm not gonna lie.. you really have to be committed to make the drive up here but I truly think it's worth it. They offer 2 group tours every other weekend for $5 where they show you the goats, turkeys, cows, pigs and more! You also get to walk around the farm at your leisure until 4PM when they close to the public. It was refreshing to be around people who were curious about their food and questioning current industry practices. I learned that pigs were actually pretty clean and loved to be petted! Of course.. I posted pics on Facebook and got made fun of for driving so far to visit a farm but unfortunately ignorance isn't something that today's society is lacking. This place is special.. and if you don't get it then don't come here and go to Safeway, buy your factory farmed animal torture meat, have your BBQ's, and live your life in ignorance. At least I can sleep at night knowing that there are some good people out there who are trying their best to make the smallest difference.

My faith in humanity is restored! I went up to the Farm Sanctuary for thier 4th of July "Pignic"…read morecelebration, a free event with hourly tours and a vegan BBQ. It was amazing. Every animal there has a story, and your tour guides tell you all about them (and where they like to be scratched and petted!). You will really appreciate how much personality and emotion each animal has. And it's so refreshing to know there are places like this and people that care enough to dedicate their lives to helping those who cannot help themselves. The BBQ was so damn good I was a fat bastard and ate a veggieburger AND a veggiedog. There were also endless Alternative Baking Co cookies - a blessing and a curse. The gift shop is neat - they have tons of cooking & resource books, ice cream treats & snacks, and the usual t-shirts and mugs. You can get involved in the "adopt a farm animal" project here, which allows you special visiting privileges and other goodies. The Sanctuary is about a 3-hour drive from the Bay Area, totally doable for a day. But there is a little pet-friendly cabin onsite if you want to spend the weekend. I adore this place. Knowing the horrors that "food" animals suffer through makes you appreciate just watching these animals be animals - grazing, lounging, just roaming around and taking it easy, living a happy life. A very joyful place indeed.

I started with telling her about my Grandma being sick, I can't believe someone would be so rude after that. I feel a hundred times worse than I did before and it made this hard time so much more painful. I don't know how this place will stay open if they treat their customers like this.
