Mount Shasta and More Yeah, de bramen zijn rijp. Er staan struiken overal langs de weg en je kunt ze zo plukken en opeten, errug lekkur ! Je moet wel snel zijn voordat de beren ze allemaal opeten. We zijn naar een aantal wijnproeverijen geweest. Een ideale manier om verschillende wijnen te proeven, ieders smaak is anders nietwaar ? Sommige van de Wijn Boerderijen, kun je wel Wijn Kastelen noemen wow wat een gebouwen. In de Napa vallei en Sonoma stikt het van de druiven velden, mooi om de glooiende heuvels vol met rijen druiven struiken te zien. En weer zagen [View Full Entry]

When: Memorial Weekend, 23rd - 25th May 2009 Where: experience a tinge of the drive, the waterfalls & the hiker's paradise in Shasta country The Shasta area is abundant in everything; Rivers, waterfalls, thousand miles of trails, snow, mountains, scenic drives, boating, caverns...you can go on & on. But the highlight is the one and only Mt.Shasta. Everytime I look at it, it is like I have never seen it before. It is so fresh, massive, beautiful & inspiring, all at the same time. This trip got us closer, a better place to view this mighty mountain. [url=http://en.wikipedia. [View Full Entry]

Okay, truth be told, the brownies weren't so great and the kids (and parents) got grouchy with each other. We'll blame it on the altitude - at least the bad brownie part. But it's a new day and we had tons of fun running around in the snow last night playing tag. And then playing Mexican Train and HideNSeek in the motorhome. The boys sang with me as they fell asleep "You are my strength when I am weak, you and the treasure that I seek, you are my all in all." "Be near me Lord Jesus I ask you to [View Full Entry]

Portland Storm Lots more driving today and lots more snow. We began the day with a great, warm breakfast with our new extended family and then warm goodbyes on a very cold, blizzardy morning. Within 5 minutes on the crazy Vancouver roads we were lost (all the roads look like country, residential roads that go on for miles). But real men can ask for directions! And my man is a real man! So we got heading to Portland and kind of wish we hadn't. The weather was terrible and getting worse. So we took it slow and made it safe and [View Full Entry]

2133 vertical meters in height and 15 km in length in 30 hours of time, that was the challenge laid out before us. Set in the idyllic mix of pastures and conifer forests of Northern California, Shasta is the second largest Cascade Volcano at 14,179 feet. According to legend, Lemurian aliens are said to live inside. I signed up for the guided trip last April, and for the last 5 months I prepared for the biggest physical challenge of my life. I lost 9 kg (20 lbs) over the course of 6 months to lessen the load on my joints. I [View Full Entry]

Six friends and I decided to drive to Mt Shasta near the Oregon border for a little quiet time. We spent three days in the area, exploring the mountain and the surrounding areas. We visited near the top of the mountain. It is a very peaceful place... we sat and contemplated and meditated for a long time. The area is above the timberline, and is very rocky with few trees... feels barren. Yet, bees and butterflies were dancing here and there, hovering over the many plants that were growing on the ground. The mountain is powerful though; you can almost taste [View Full Entry]

First of all, accept my apologies for not updating this overdue blog for a long time. Some of it was due to laziness, some of it was due to work, and some of it was due to planning and preparation for Florida trip. Now I am back and so is some activity on this page. This entry is in continuation with . We stayed a night at Burney, CA. Next morning, we drove north to the Mount Shasta. We got some stunning view of Mt. Shasta from the highway. Mt. Shasta is a 14,179 feet tall stratovolcano. It is not connected [View Full Entry]

The 4th of July Run/Walk is the big shindig each year in Mt Shasta. It's become so popular chances are you won't find a room if you haven't booked one already. There's a KOA camp in town plus camp sites at Lake Siskiyou, but if you do plan to be in Mt Shasta over the 4th, better find a place to stay now. Gas is always at least 30 cents higher in Siskiyou County than either Redding or Medford/Klamath Falls, so top off before you come to town. If you think gas prices are high where you are...you ain't seen nothing [View Full Entry]

It’s springtime in Mt Shasta-finally. After more than a week of sloppy skies, my cats have abandoned the wood stove for mouse patrol. The dreary skies failed to keep the summer wanderers in the valley. I saw my first purple hippy bus yesterday. Summers in Mt Shasta always pull in a variety of strangers from jet setting guests at Hearst Castle on the McCloud River to old hippies with their flying hair and rickity buses. Most of the tourists fit somewhere in between- just working people happy to spend a few days in a small town at the base of a [View Full Entry]

Although my dream is to travel New Zealand, I live near beautiful Mt Shasta, home of the Lemurians. Lemurians are kissing cousins of the Irish Leprechauns. They're short, mischievous and very hard to see. I've lived there many years and haven't seen one yet. But, I've never seen the space ships that come to the mountain for refueling either. It's been a cold hard winter, but I'm looking forward to spring and the new crop of animals. Even the mountain lions that wander through my property. Tangerine [View Full Entry]
