Mt. Shasta

We spent the night in Mt. Shasta and then after breakfast we took a rather unusual type of hike . . . along the railroad tracks enroute to Mossbrae Falls, 1.2 miles each way next to the Sacramento River. At first we sort of got lost and found Shasta Springs instead, later discovering that the springs belonged to a strange cult in the Dunsmuir area! Yikes! Lucky for us, they didn't see us! Both the falls and springs were very pretty. We drove up to Bunny Flat to get a better view of Mt. Shasta; only 1.6 miles each way to Horse Camp for an even better view . . . who could resist? Off we go and what a treat, not only the view, but the cold refreshing Shasta spring water to refill our water bottles with . . . ahhh! Time for another car wash, only this one didn't really clean the car . . . what will Alamo think?

When they say "Pack it in, pack it out" They mean everything!

This gave us a good laugh!  It's a poop target.....no kidding!
