Whiskeytown Loop

Friday, August 20

After calling our first week in McCloud, we decided to take a ride, through the country side.

We rode north to Gazelle, CA and picked up CA 3. We rode south to Callahan. Callahan is a really cool old town. Not much there, now. There is a post office, an old saloon, and an emporium.

We spent a bit of time there, and really enjoyed our visit!

Below is D, in front of the Emporium.

Below, is the old hotel. It was once a stage coach stop, along the Oregon Trail.

This is CA 3, riding south, toward Weaverville.

Little D at Trinity Lake

Below is Whiskey Town Lake. The barrier in the water is a wall that goes all the way to the bottom of the lake. It is to keep the warm water from mixing with the cold water, so the Chinook salmon, may spawn in the cold water.

Our ride was terrific! We start another week of calling, at McCloud, and will start our journey to Dallas Thursday, Aug 27. Will probably make a side trip or two, along the way.
