Different take on Mt. Shasta

North side of Mount Shasta

Over the past 30 years or so I’ve driven past Mt. Shasta on I-5 somewhere in the neighborhood of 100-150 times. It’s a beautiful view from the west. On all of the dozens of airplanes I’ve been on that included a view of Mt. Shasta the view was also from the west. So when I drove down Highway 97 (going from Sunriver, Oregon to Southern California) in June of 2015, this view surprised me. The mountain looked so different and new even though I’d seen it so many times before.

Two years ago today…

…I found myself driving up the I-5 after seeing Mercyful Fate the night before. Did they play Halloween? No, that’s a King Diamond solo song. It was the 39th anniversary of the Melissa (one of my favorite albums) release, and they played five of the seven tracks off of Melissa which was wonderful.

Anyway, back to today’s photo. I turned off the freeway to grab a bite to eat. The Dining Car Restaurant wasn’t open yet so I took a few photos of Castle Crags before heading back up the highway to see Ashland’s Halloween Parade.

Is it still baseball season?

I pretty much lived at this place in the 1980s. Now it is gone. This was the last game I ever saw there.

This year I have paid zero attention to MLB. I couldn’t tell you who is in the playoffs or what round we are in. It’s kind of odd how something that was such a big part of your life can later become so dead to you.
