Another night of camping done. The good news is that this campground had showers. This morning, for the first time in quite a spell, I showered!! The awesome thing, other then actually being clean, was that it actually had hot water. Most campground showers you just push a button and a luke-warm stream of water comes out..if you are lucky. It felt good. After leaving the campground, we traveled down the coast for a short while before heading east toward central valley. We made it to Lassen Volcanic National Park with ease. After getting our park map, we saw that there was hardly any roads and that most of the things in the park were a day's hike to get to. Not really wanting to do that, we saw as much as we could in the park while driving through. At the base of Lassen Pk. there was enough snow, that Nathan and I had a snowball fight! OK, we just threw a couple of snowballs at each other, but it still was fun to do so in September!
A stream that ran through the park. I know, obviously, right?
Nathan really enjoys taking pictures of wildflowers, and I can't blame him.
They are beautiful.

We decided that we didn't really need to stay in the park much longer, so we got a jump on the next days worth of driving. We got as far as Sacramento before we stopped and got a hotel. Tomorrow, we get to add another city to our list--San Francisco!
Loving' the posts. Keep 'em up! I'm living my west-coast dreams vicariously thru you guys!
