I watched the sunset from VANilla last night. It was very nice and a little bit of a surprise. I kept trying to catch an amazing sunset shot on the coast, but the colorful sky over the lava fields proved to be a better place for a picture. But more importantly…on to the morning.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
We began the day driving Northeast on 97 through Klamath National Forest. Unbeknownst to me there was a war veterans memorial wall and sculpture garden roadside within the forest. In light of recent events, I decided to stop. After stopping at the wall honoring area California veterans who fought in a variety of wars, I wandered through the sculpture garden. The sculptures were large, modern pieces made of metal resembling different wartime scenes including a POW, a wounded soldier, a soldier coming home to his loved one, a nurse caring for the wounded, and more. It was a nice place to pay respects to all of those who have fought for our safety.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
Petey and I awoke to another glorious day! My weather app on my iPhone forecasts wonderful weather all week. I hope it is right! We began the morning driving A10 toward Mount Shasta. It makes a relatively easy climb nearly half-way to the glacier-clad summit where it dead ends. Many winter enthusiasts were strapping on cross-country skies while I simply turned VANilla around and headed back down the mountain. The drive afforded some fantastic views, but it was so nice outside, I would have rather just found a trailhead leading into Shasta-Trinity National Forest.
