Did you know that Lassen Volcanic National Park is home to a lake so extreme it helped scientists discover a new kind of virus? In 2012, researchers studying Boiling Springs Lake—a hot, acidic lake reaching temperatures up to 96°C (205°F) with a pH around 2.2—identified the first known natural hybrid virus, combining genetic material from both RNA and DNA viruses. This groundbreaking discovery, named the Boiling Springs Lake RNA-DNA Hybrid Virus (BSL-RDHV), has provided valuable insights into viral evolution and showcases the unique scientific opportunities present in the park's geothermal environments. > https://tripmemos.com/national-parks-in-california/?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=ma

This year, California’s Free Fishing Days fall on July 4 and September 5. For more information, visit https://wildlife.ca.gov/Licensing/Fishing/Free-Fishing-Days.
