Yosemite and More

 A couple of weeks back my niece, her friend and I went on a tour of the Lake Shasta Caverns on Shasta Lake. It was a great experience. It starts out with a boat ride across the lake, today it was very smooth, a bus ride up the hill then through an iron door into the cavern. I'll let you look through the photos  without any more comment, they don't need any. www.lakeshastacaverns.com Go, See, Enjoy, Stay Safe and Photograph Dave

 My brother Jim took me on a little tour of the North State beginning with the little town of Hornbrook. It's a former major stop for the Southern Pacific Railroad before the Siskiyou Summit. As with most rural areas there are some interesting uses of materials. Before the advent of automatic crossing guards men would stay safe from the weather in one of these waiting to stop traffic from an approaching train. I'm sure without automatic crossing guards or someone controlling the crossing this would work to stop the train. Four dams were removed from the Klamath River. Restoration work is continuing, but for the time being the former reservoirs look  like this. It's recently been reported that a few salmon have returned. Go, See, Enjoy, be Safe and Photograph Dave
