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 st http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/California/Mount-Shasta/blog-286341.html The 4th of July RunWalk 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 MedfordKlamat http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/California/Mount-Shasta/blog-283551.html Itrsquos springtime in Mt Shastafinally.

I was a bit anxious about the drive as I was unsure about the weather conditions. However the road was really clear and I got to Linda's in Yreka California at about 715pm.

Our lodge was right http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/California/Mount-Shasta/blog-238240.html Yesterday our USA road trip across country from San Francisco back to the east coast kicked off.

Shasta has supernatural powers from the Native Americans known as the Shasta to the multitude of residents that make their home near the volcano today.
