Off on another weekend camping trip,
this time to Northern California.
We stayed in Reno the first night, at
our favorite place-Atlantis.
Then next morning we headed for California.
Before we headed toward Shingletown KOA,
we stopped at Burney Falls State Park.
It was really georgous!!
The falls were beautiful and the water was
a crystal aqua color.

The KOA at Shingletown was really great.
Very freindly folks and beautiful grounds.
On Saturday morning we headed out to
spend the day at Lassen Volcanic National Park.
The views were spectacular and the geology
was truly amazing. Until Mt. St. Helens,
Lassen was the last volcano to erupt on the US mainland
in 1914.  You can still see the difference in the "area
of devasation". There are lots of hot springs and
you can actually see and hear the water boiling.

The water in the stream through the meadow was crystal clear and cold.

Had lunch at the Lassen Glacier Lodge-good food, friendly people

  
Boiling water and steam vents

  
Water in this stream was yellow with sulphur, but Emerald Lake was crystal clear.

These little pink flowers were everywhere and a patch of purple flowers across the meadow.
