Thursday, June 15 to Grants Pass, OR

1O2A5993We loaded up and moved out of the Diamond  Back Casino Hotel in Susanville, CA before 10:30 A.M. and headed for the Courthouse Cafe for breakfast.  It lived up to the expectations we had from reading the review on TripAdvisor.  We find the website very helpful.

With a full stomach and happy faces we got underway about 11:30 A.M., topped off the fuel tank before leaving town and headed for the less travelled route along route 44 towards Grants Pass, OR about 250 miles away.  The route took us through Lassen National Forest to Old Station, CA where we picked up route 89 continuing through the forest and eventually into Shasta Trinity National Forest.  Occasionally we caught a glimpse of Mt. Shasta through the trees.

Here are some pictures taken from Hat Creek Rim part way through Lassen National Forest.

Along the way in the forest Jeanne’s alert driving prevented hitting a  fawn who was anxious to cross the road.  Some additional shots as we travel along.

About 2:40 P.M. we exited the forest and merged onto Interstate 5 North passing on the west side of Mt. Shasta.  This is a picture of the west side of the mountain.

    Happy to say that I am finally caught up!! Thanks for resending the link Walt…this one worked!! I had trouble scrolling through so many posts on my iPad (I think it’s time has passed and it too needs to be retired) so I resorted to reading the past posts on the computer. That worked, and I recognized so many of your pictures from places we were last year. Say Hi to Uncle Jack for Susie and I…can’t wait for the next post!
