I had never been to Lake Tahoe, and was mesmerized by the beauty of this lake, second only to the magnificent Crater Lake, several hundred miles to the north in Oregon. After a nice stop off at a lake side bar for some beers and a break from the open road, we moved on. On
Last week, I stepped on to the snow covered slopes of Mount Shasta in N0rthern Califoria, and didn't look back. We ascended to 9500 feet the first night and set camp on a snowfield under a blanket of stars. The next day we made our summit bid. Here is video montage of our summit day.
