Mount Shasta City



Today was our first full day at Mount Shasta. We arrived yesterday afternoon but we spent the whole day doing laundry and trying to manage the air conditioning in the RV.  It was 95 and we tried to use two air conditioners but kept having issues with the power.  Even with all of Jim's handy-dandy power managing systems, the power and the air kept going off.  Luckily, it cools down at night and we were able to sleep comfortably. Except for the TRAINS!  Why do conductors think it's so cool to lean on the horn twenty times going through town?



Okay, so other than the heat and the trains we are having fun!  Today, after the 8:05 woke us up, we had breakfast and took a long walk through the woods around the RV park. Then Kathe and Jim then set out for a hike around nearby Lake Siskiyou.

First, they checked out the bike trails for Jim, then they went to the Lake Siskiyou Resort. They were thinking that maybe the next time we're in this area we might camp there. It was right on the Lake away from the trains, but there were hundreds of kids everywhere in the "Splash Zone."


They finally went for their hike around the Lake, but by then they were getting hungry and cut it short to go back to the RV for lunch.  Kathe got the bright idea to take the North Shore Road home.  It turned into a gravel road to nowhere. By the time they turned around and got back to the main road they had driven 6 miles out of their way and it was close to 3:00.

The pictures are shots of Mount Shasta and Lake Siskiyou, and the 6 mile drive in the woods!

Steak tacos for dinner tonight, oh boy!
