The Mountain Echo is owned and edited by Walt and Donna Caldwell. They live and work (and volunteer a lot!) in the community and the paper reflects their understanding of and concern with local events. It is published weekly and includes as many community events as Walt or one of his reporters can cover. It's a large task, since the area they serve is from Adin to Round Mountain. They have frequent reports on the young men and women currently serving in the military, great sports coverage for all the school teams, and include occasional reports from the kids in colleges outside of the area. The paper has a useful ad section and schedules of local events, as well.

One of the smartest things a visitor can do is pick up their Tourist Companion.  It is available in most local stores, motels and restaurants.  It includes a complete guide to all businesses in the community, as well as information about local parks, hunting and fishing regulations, and access to waterways. Their 2004 copy is now available at most businesses.

The Mountain Echo maintains a website, too. Whether you are a part-time resident or an occasional visitor, consider a subscription.  This is a "printer friendly" page, so hit print and send the whole page or just the form below to: Mountain Echo, 43152 Highway 299E Suite B, Fall River Mills, CA 96028.  If you are from Lassen, Shasta, or Modoc Counties, the subscription rate is $25 per year.  If you are from other areas of California, it's $30, the rest of the U.S. will cost you $35.
