24 Feb - Red Bluff, California

Today seemed like a long travel day.  We were in the mountains pretty much all day.  Fairly draining.

Mount McLoughlin
 This is a volcano.  It is located in southern Oregon and is 9,495 feet high.  Its very beautiful.,
Summit of Mount Siskiyou - complete with snow on the hills

Siskiyou
 Siskiyou summit is at 4,310 feet.  We travelled up to it very slowly.  Quite the climb.
Mountains, mountains, mountains
Mount Shasta
 Mount Shasta is another volcano.  It is in California and is 14,179 feet high. The volcano is covered by glaciers.  This volcano last erupted about 200 years ago.
Lake Shasta
Beautiful lake with gorgeous coloured water.  It is very popular with boaters and vacationers.

Finally we escaped from the mountainous terrain.  We are staying at Durango RV Resort.  We stayed here last year as well.  It is a beautiful park.  A small shopping centre is right next door.  We had supper at Shari's - a western  restaurant chain that is known for its pies.  Good supper but we didn't have pie.  Trying to be good.

Clubhouse at Durango RV

Landscaping includes a series of fountains

Sacramento River
The Sacramento River runs along the edge of the campground.  So pretty.  Tomorrow we head further south.  We're ready for a break and we'll stay two nights at the next campground.  We couldn't stop before now as the weather is changing tonight and we needed to get through the mountains before the snow returned.
