Low water in this creek.

Here we are! Having fun!
 
Last Friday we took a hike
detouring around newly fallen snow.
Instead of going to Castle Lake we took
an old logging road and I took a few photos.

I enjoy participating in Six Words and
Sunday Shadow Shots.
Enjoy your day where ever you are!

Saturday Words and Sunday Shadows! July 18-19, 2015

A great day for a hike!
Friday's hike took us up to Horse Camp
Halfway up Mt Shasta and only 1.7 miles
from Bunny Flat. However it was a 2000'
foot gain in elevation! Hard going up,
but easy going down!
 
 
Mt Shasta in the distance

 
Fields of flowering Lupin

 
Moss covered old trees

 
After only perhaps an hour
we all arrived to eat a very early lunch!
 

This stone cabin was built for mountain climbers in 1923. Mostly indigenous materials were used for construction, including volcanic rock and Shasta Red Fir. The lodge can be used for emergency shelter for climbers. Other features of Horse Camp include a freshwater spring, low impact campsites and a solar-powered composting toilet facility. 

 
 
 
This is the closest we've been to
this magnificent mountain.

 
We all made it! It was a perfect hike!

Scramble over here for more Six Words

Enjoy your day!

Saturday Six Words and Sunday Shadow Shots February 21-22, 2015

The Friday Meanderers take a hike.... 
 
 
We drove a little past Callahan-
got to Masterson Road where we
parked our cars and walked 4 or so miles ...
 
 
The first mile and a half was uphill....
is this really meandering we asked?
 
 
Eventually the road became easier as we
crossed the East Fork of the Scott River... 

 
 
Here's a wheelbarrow waiting for spring...
 

 
A well aged fence post
 

 
They call this mesa "Lovers Leap"


Eventually we got back to our cars and
headed to the Etna Brewery for
a splendid and well earned lunch!
It was a very fun day!
