Thanks Jon!

Mt. Shasta Sept 27 – 30, 2012

Thanks to our good friend Jon Zieve we added this beautiful mountain to our itinerary.  Shasta is a quiet little town that sits at the base of the mountain.  We drove up the scenic road as far as we could up the mountain, what a view.  Mt Shasta is one of the 7 most spiritual mountains in the world and there were lots of people having fun ceremonies at the top… building rock altars, spreading rose pedals etc.  We also went to the Mt Shasta museum and learned about lenticular clouds which look like big UFO’s over the top of the mountain – they were fascinating.  In the evening we decided to treat ourselves with the Mt Shasta Brewery!  Great beers made with Shasta spring water and great people.  On Sunday we drove to Lake Shasta and took a tour of the Shasta caverns.  It was fun because it included a boat ride on the lake, but the caverns were not spectacular. 

Mount Shasta - those are glaciers not snow.
