Sunrise from I-5 north of Mt. Shasta
This past Thursday I headed down I-5 with a friend with the destination being the San Francisco Bay Area to see AC/DC at AT&T Park. Things began with the sunrise in today’s photo.
More Mt. Shasta photos here.

Hiking to Big Bear Lake in the Trinity Alps Wilderness
Yesterday we went on another hike in the Trinity Alps Wilderness in Northern California. This was, I think, the eighth lake we have hiked to in this area. Others included Trail Gulch Lake, Little Boulder Lake, and Smith Lake.
The trail to Big Bear Lake (and Wee Bear Lake–AKA Little Bear Lake–which we didn’t go to) is only 4.5 miles, but it felt like much more. The scenery on the trail changes frequently, but the nearly 3,000 feet of elevation gain does not. I’m sore today.
I have been going to the Monterey / Pacific Grove / Pebble Beach / Carmel area of California since the time I was born. I did tours there in the early 1990s. I haven’t been there much in the past 15 years, maybe only three or four times. However, the beauty of the place is always shocking to me.
This past Thursday morning’s visit provided a different experience as there was no one there. We could park wherever we wanted and stroll without any crowds. This made things even better.
We were in California for a couple days, returning last night to Oregon. Today’s photo comes from a hike we did on our way to Sacramento in the Trinity Alps Wilderness. After this lake we also visited Boulder Lake which is less than a mile away.
