June 12, 2011 - Mt. Shasta, CA and vicinity

So i made it to lovely Mt. Shasta, CA. My friends Randy and Hoa Bofinger live there and it's always a pleasure to visit them.

They have the best views from their kitchen! Out one window you see Black Butte...

...and from the other, you see Mt. Shasta! And Hoa can cook like a pro.

I love this mountain. It isn't California's highest. That designation goes to Mt. Whitney in the Southern Sierra range, but what's cool about this mountain is that it's not part of a ridge of over 14,000 ft. peaks. It dominates the landscape. You can see it for miles away. Unfortunately this trip i hardly saw it at all. It was covered in clouds, but this day i saw her in her full regalia. Snow covered and all.


Randy and Hoa's house.


Their dog - Happy. He is the sweetest most loving dog i've ever known.

Hoa's electric car.

A chemtrail. Randy has sent me lots of info on these. What do you think?
Check out this site.

Randy's medicinal cannabis garden.

Randy's solar panels.

Happy.

I recorded some CDs there. This one was totally in Vietnamese so it was easier to photograph it than write all the info down. Hoa is from Vietnam.


Castle Crags is one of the 70 or so State Parks in California that is destined to close next year due to budgetary cuts. My goal is to visit as many as i can before that happens. 
See the list of closing parks here. Some of them are spectacular.

Randy and Hoa. Hoa means "flower" in Vietnamese.

First glimpse of the crags.



Yours truly humbled by the majestic crags.

These two were actually taken the next morning on the 13th of June before i left.


That was my last leg of this journey. I went back to the Bay Area and resumed life as we know it.
