We've returned to California, via a detour to Crater Lake in Oregon. It was cold and the edge of the crater was covered in deep snow, but you guys back home know all about snow, right!?
We got a couple of pictures and then our camera died, so we resorted to a disposable camera when we got to Mt. Shasta in California again. From one Volcano to another, Shasta is very different standing at 14,000 ft, and casts a shadow on the town below. The town was great and we liked it so much we stayed 2 nights there, then drove across country to Arcata again, were we are spending the weekend. It was '2nd Friday' last night, 2nd Friday of the month is when the shops and art galleries open up for the evening, and some even put on live music. We woke up to rain but managed to get in some birdwatching on 'Mad River', and got great views of western Grebe, Great Egret, and Great Blue heron. We're hoping to go on a guided tour this afternoon and learn some more about the local wildlife.
We'll be back in San Fran soon, only 3 days left in the crazy Vegas van, that seems to attract lots of attention, and is a brilliant conversation starter! Take care...
