Mt Shasta & Sunny California


We left Holiday RV Park in Phoenix, Oregon, about 10:30 am and began climbing up and over Siskiyou Summit, the highest elevation climb and descent between Canada and Mexico.  I was a little nervous with everything I had read about the summit but Chuck kept the motorhome geared down and we didn't have any problems whatsoever ascending or descending Siskiyou Summit.

The surrounding landscape of northern California was beautiful...


and the sun started to peep out on Mt. Shasta (far back left of picture).


We could see Everitt Hill to the west of Mt. Shasta.



Then the clouds began to break even more giving us some gorgeous views of the 14,162 ft Mt. Shasta.











We found out from our new friends, John and Susie Borges, that the snow on the top of Mt Shasta was from a recent snowfall.  When they had traveled north a couple of weeks ago, there was very little snow on Mt. Shasta.

We crossed Shasta Lake which looked way low from the appearance of the banks.

 
We traveled to Red Bluff, California, and decided to stay at Durango RV Resort.  What a very nice RV resort!


Since the weather was nice and they permitted washing of RVs here, Chuck decided to give the motorhome a good wash and wax.  It needed it after all the rain and driving on wet roads for the past few weeks.
