Half the Year - Gone!

Welcome to July! Can not believe the pace at which the year is going by and not getting much done it seems like. Actually things probably get done, just do not realize how much is as compared to how much is not.

Back in late March we took spring break down in Reno, NV. My family and two other families and also spent a day around the Lake Tahoe area. But the travels to and from Reno I think were the best as we went through what I would call "The forgotten California". The landscapes to me were awesome! Some were open wide expanses and others in tall forest land. The forest there was not like the forest in Oregon where it is dense and thick. These forests were more open and seemed spacious. This whole area is in the N/NE portion of California by the way, using highways 139, 299, 395, 44, 89 and even parts of I-5!

The shot is from a state park we stopped at to use the facilities at as the park itself was not quite fully open for the season yet. It is located at McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial SP along Hwy 89 south of the Mt. Shasta area.

It was a really beautiful area and would like to go back and spend some time camping and shooting photos. Have a great day!
