It was a pretty day today, but still quite cool. Last night we had some tenters across the road who partied late into the night. They woke me up at 12:45. It is a large group camping with a fifth-wheel next to us. They were up blasting music this morning. We haven’t encountered noisy people at all during this trip. So this was a pain! But they are gone tonight.
We had a leisurely morning and left to drive around about 11:45. We first drove into town looking for info. We found the visitors center, got a map and took off stopping by KFC for some chicken to take with us. We stopped by the RV to get the cooler, and off we went.
The drive up Mt Shasta was really quite pretty. There are some unusually symmetrical and lovely conifers. We drove to the end of the road at Old Ski Bowl above the tree line. It was quite chilly up there, too cold for a picnic. There was a cloud cover over Shasta, but it kept moving around making for an interesting and pretty vista. It even started to snow little ice pebbles while we were there. Today's photo shows the parking lot at Old Ski Bowl. Note the lady in a blanket!
We came back down to a lovely city park where we had our picnic in relative warmth. This park holds a spring that is the headwaters of the Sacramento River. It was a really pretty park, and we had a pleasant time. Then it was back to the RV where I worked on photos. I got the Crater Lake area photos uploaded finally and worked on labeling some of the others before I totally forget what we did where.
We were going to go out to eat, but the restaurant we wanted to go to is closed on Sundays, so we had burgers, beans, and cole slaw here in the RV.
Tomorrow we head out for Yuba City. We are staying at the Beale AFB famcamp before hitting I 80 on Tuesday to cross the Sierra Mtns.
I also added the Crater Lake area photos to Flickr. You can see them by clicking the link on the right.
