With the kids still out of the country, we headed off to Northern California to check out some new terrain. First on the list was the Mt Shasta area, where we took in a couple of super-nice waterfalls, and did a partial climb of Mt Shasta, itself. Then we headed off to Mt Lassen National Park, where we did multiple hikes (though not to the summit), to views, lakes, and thermal mud pools.
Random Scenes
- Three dudes cliff jumping into the pool at the bottom of McCloud Falls.
- Karen swimming under McCloud Falls.
- Throwing a rainfly over our camping neighbor's tent (in Mt Lassen) when an afternoon thunderstorm rolled in. They were very grateful, and bestowed some home-made smoked salmon on us. Yum!!
- Writing more bad poetry for Brian!
"Oh Wow!" Moments
- McCloud Falls! Spectacular!
- Storm clouds rolling in over the bubbling craziness of Bumpass Hell in Mt Lassen!
