This was yesterday morning when we started out. The fog and clouds were so low which made for such beautiful scenery. The wind picked up as well as we got close to the pass. When I got out to take this next picture of Mount Shasta I had to brace my foot against the curb as it was literally blowing me over.
Mount Shasta is in California - it is the second highest volcano in the United States and a major peak in the Cascade Mountain range. There is also a lake Shasta which we are going to tour tomorrow. Today, as our luck would have it - it RAINED. Considering Redding is the second sunniest city in the United States, and that we have had rain for the past two weeks I am thinking we must be doing some kind of rain dance, and it has to stop NOW. The rest of the week looks great tho.
Oh yeah, we were high! (yes, I meant to do that! hee hee) I might have been a little scared if I wasn't so amazed!
Lake Shasta, where we are going to see tomorrow as well as the Caverns. Can't wait!
Oh eeeshhh.... I'd have lost my lunch a number of times there. The scenery is amazing! Even though I don't trust mountains very much, there is no denying that the fog and winding curves are extraordinary!
