May 25-27, Lake Shasta CA
Our first day at Antlers RV Resort was spent doing laundry & watching the light rain. (Togo's #24 for lunch, yum) Then it was time for sightseeing on our second day! We went to the sundial bridge in Redding, where we walked all around the park. The light clouds kept the sundial itself from working, but it was an impressive sight anyway. The footbridge is made of glass panels that can reach 150 degrees in the summer. We were glad to be crossing on a cool day! We traveled back to Lake Shasta and took nearly every side road we could find. Barb would have like to seen Lakeview Resort, where she spent many summers, but the road was gated and it is apparently closed. We still saw many beautiful sights and a couple nice vacation homes for sale. Hmmmm. The lake is full to the brim and the water is almost glacial looking. We weren't sure if it was because they've received so much precipitation this year, or if it was a reflection of the overcast skies. No matter the cause, it was gorgeous. CDF was doing a couple prescribed burns and we were lucky enough to find them cutting down a large, dead tree. There was a large group of firefighters & Dennis actually asked them "How many firefighters does it take to cut down a tree?" Funny - especially since they thought it was funny and didn't beat him up. We considered going to the Basshole (haha) for dinner, but opted for soup & cobbler in the RV instead. If we were staying an extra day, however, we would have been compelled to go there to see the professional hula hooper who will be performing. Really. Oh well, Oregon beckons.
