    Flight to LA

    16. juni 2019, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    After 15 hour flight landing at 6am, Julie, Kerry and I were in no condition to do any day touring so booked a day hotel for 6 hours (sleep and shower worth every cent) before heading back to the airport for 8.15pm flight to Redding. Nearly there.Les mer

    Morning swim and spa hit the spot.
    Leisurely breakfast then back to airport to pick up hire car. Julie did a brilliant job driving. About an hour an a half because of roadworks. We only needed to do 3 right turns to get us into Mt Shasta.
    Arrived in time for a farmers market, so some food shopping before heading off to air BnB. All settled in to lovely homely place.    Les mer

    Castle Lake and Sacramento headwaters

    18. juni 2019, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    First full day to explore the area. So much to choose from. Today set to be hottest of our time here so settled on exploring and swimming in Lake Castle in the morning. Snow still melting so water pretty cold but also came across warm patches. Warm 30 degrees helped dry us out.
    Did some shopping in town (so many crystal shops). Back to our cosy house for cooked lunch the to Sacramento Headwaters.    Les mer

    Day 3 Retreat

    22. juni 2019, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    Another glorious day. Getting our routine down with the beautiful 10 minute drive to the resort for 9am start becoming more relaxing. Two hour lunch break with meals served outside allows us to enjoy the sunshine and lovely vegetation. Another inspiring day and particularly fun with Marilyn Harper having us in fits of laughter. Also had dinner at the resort as they offered an evening session at Pragett’s Stargate house close by. It was very powerful finishing at 10pm so came out to starring night sky.Les mer

    Stewart Mineral Springs

    24. juni 2019, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Karuk Native American ancient sacred place used for his healing waters. Very high mineral content described as liquid silk. Felt amazing on your skin. Now a bathe house with private baths, sauna and you use the zero degrees creek as a plunge pool. Got easier after third go. I even sat in creek for about 5 minutes. Stunning scenery and flowers.Les mer

    Left Mt Shasta at 4am travelling 90 minutes down the highway to Redding Airport to catch a 6.30am flight to Los Angeles .

    Architecture and Design Museum

    30. juni 2019, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C

    Great place to be during hottest time of day. Used to be a bank. They saved it from demolition.
    Exhibition of local architecture Hugh Kaptur. His Palm Springs cliff houses especially impressive. Many never got built we suspect cost was astronomical. Has done many other buildings here commercial and civic. The gift shop is the bank vault they’ve kept the door.
    We are becoming regulars at the local
    Gelato shop.    Les mer

    Indian Canyons Seven Sisters Falls

    1. juli 2019, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C

    Up earlish to find walking trail to seven sisters falls. Not far but GPS sent us on a route around the city so didn’t start walk until 9.10am. Only shade along the creek with the 2 mile track very hilly in parts and about half not along creek
    So in full sun. An hour and three quarters in with many stops to wet out hats and shawls in the creek. A recent storm and hot spell meant falls not very big but still some desert flowers and many dragon flies, birds and tiny frogs.
    Soaking feet in the cool water was divine.
    Only an hour and 10 minutes to return thankfully to car with very efficient air conditioning and extra cold water in boot. Lunch and dip in pool very welcomed.    Les mer

    Back in Melbourne

    Great to be picked up at airport. Thanks to Andy and Linda.
    Julie and I arrived 40 minutes early but didn’t have any inflight entertainment, reading light or call button all flight. A long 15 Hours. Read my book using phone torch app.
    They only turned on lights for last hour.
    Kerry’s plane delayed by 2 hours and Robin coming via Sydney also delayed.
    Something weird going on.
    Great to share the amazing experience with such good friends.    Les mer
