Sunday, October 11, 2009Back againWe're home again and I posted several new photo's. You need to scroll down and start from the bottom since this blog posts botton up. All should be dated today, Oct 11. posted @ 05:03 PM PST [link] The Volcano  The last park we visited was Lassen. We stopped at the vents. If you enjoy the smell of hot sulfur you would like this steamy spot! I took a little video of one vent but I don't know how to post those. They whistle and steam like your teapot, but don't smell as nice! The vents have been moving around since I visited last, too. We can no longer walk the trail among them and it looks like they might even undermine the road one of these days. The volcano is suppose to be dormant (that's not extinct!) but it still reminds us that it's hot down there.  We're home again now and have been spending the afternoon shooing the deer out of the yard. They have pretty much eaten off every plant out there. All my mums are gone, they even ate grandmother's Christmas cactus that i thought would be okay. Guess we won't get any flowers again this year. I'm sure it will come back, but I think I'm going to find an old fashioned wrist rocket and do my best to discourage them. 
posted @ 05:01 PM PST [link] Back over the 'hill'...  And around Lake Tahoe. This is Emerald Bay on the north west side of the lake (I think). Very pretty. It really is a beautiful spot. Half in California and half in Nevada. posted @ 04:51 PM PST [link] Over the hill...  Over the nearly 10,000' Tioga pass and down into the desert we visited Mono Lake. It has some fantastic mineral formations but the shore is fragile so I did not venture near. A big blue spot in the sands. posted @ 04:48 PM PST [link] Here we are...  ...looking like a couple of rough and ragged tourists after a few days in the trailer!  That's Half Dome in the background. I'm holding Cori's leash but the nice European man who took our picture didn't get her in. We took theirs in return. There was a lot of that going on, as you might guess. This park is a photographers dream.
posted @ 04:45 PM PST [link] Traveling  We went to the fair in Dixon, Lambtown last weekend and after that we decided to take the last opportunity this fall to see some of California. We visited Randy's step Mom in Saucelito by the bay, then my brother in Cool, then Randy's Uncle in Angel's Camp and then made our way via old highway 49 and the Gold country to Yosemite. We spent two days there. I have not been since I was a child so it was all new to me again. Breathtaking! You know pictures just do not have the impact, but I'm posting some anyway. This is El Capitan. posted @ 04:41 PM PST [link] |
