A DAY OF EXPLORING!

After a great week of dancing, Decah, and I decided to go sightseeing! The photo, below, was taken off our balcony, as we left! The day was fairly clear. Didn't seem to be much smoke, in the air! After a great breakfast, at the McCloud Golf Course, we visited the McCloud Reservoir. The water is very clear, and turquoise, in color! Very beautiful lake! Below, are several views, of the lake, as we drove around it.


















A view of all the debris, at the dam.



The photo, below, is the water, after flowing through the electric turbines. An awesome sight!


A view of the McCloud River, below the dam.





A view of Mt Shasta, from McCloud Lake.



Thought the photo, below, was really cool! It is a natural cave, exposed, as part of the mountain, collapse!



A view of Mt Shasta, as we returned from McCloud Reservoir.

We found it interesting, to see all the fire wood, being stockpiled, for winter!





A view, of the back side, of the dance hall. Our apartment is atop the building. 31 steps up the stairwell! Notice our trailer, under the stairwell.

Lumber, is the primary industry in the are. I found this photo interesting, as it is a portable sawmill, cutting timber.



Another view of Mt Shasta, taken at ski resort.


We decided to take a ride up Shasta. This photo was taken from just above the timber line, approximately, 8,000 ft elevation!
Shasta is well over 14,000 in elevation!


This photo, was taken looking down the mountain. You can see the smoke, in the distance!


Our day, of sightseeing, was terrific! Saw spectacular scenery!
We both, really enjoyed our day off! Calling Saturday night, in Anderson, CA, then back to McCloud, for 2 more weeks of calling! You can see from these photos, why this is one of our favorite calling destination!
