Last week we headed up to the little town of Mt. Shasta. Wandered the New Age shops, ate lunch, sipped cappuccino in the book store. In other words, had a great time. Before heading home we decided to get a little closer to the glistening snow that blankets the great mountain. So got directions at the local tea shop and off we went, up the mountain. Finally had to stop at a little over 6000' as the road was closed at that point. The air was crisp and cool, about 20* cooler then in Shasta town. Blazing sunshine made the snow glisten and a good time was had by all. We had our granddaughter Ashlee along, who got a short reprieve from work to join us for nearly 2 weeks. This was our last outing with her before she had to head back home. Plus took along our Tai Chi buddy Jeanie. Of course before long Grandpa and Ashlee were lopping snowballs. :) It was a wonderful daytrip all the way around.

Mt. Shasta in June

Wish we could have been there! Looks like a lot of fun was had. Glad Ash was able to get some time off to see you guys, too!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun. We'd always planned to go up to the snowline during previous visits to Mt. Shasta. So glad we decided to head up the mountain before going home. Had the siblings been along as well, no doubt a fierce battle would've taken place. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you went up to the snow. What a great picture you got!
ReplyDeleteHi Evi, Schnee im Sommer ist ja toll. Gibt es davon noch mehr Bilder? Kannst du mir welche schicken? Liebe Grüsse an Alle von Dagi
ReplyDeleteYes we did, glad you enjoyed the pic, Deb.
ReplyDeleteDagi, ja ich werde Dir noch aus meinen Fotos ein paar Bilder schicken. Alles Liebe, Evi und Familie
