For the past week, we have been staying in what is probably the best FREE campground in the world. Lake Shastina Public Access Campground is run by the county of Siskiyou and located outside of Weed, CA. We are parked right on the lake and, other than our WIN friends, the campground is remarkably empty.
Now for the faces - here we have Mt. Shasta in full sunlight.
Next, she appears softer in evening light. Those are our RVs parked on the right.
Finally, just as the sun drops below the horizon, the mountain top is tipped with pink. Pretty cool, huh?
The lake is home to hundreds of Western Grebes which stay too far away to photograph. But we caught these white pelicans and cormorants doing some cooperative fishing one day.
We've been pretty busy here with sightseeing, hiking, and potlucks. More about that next post.

You have the best luck. Everytime I try to take pictures of those volcanos in the Pacific NW, they are always hiding in the clouds.
