After spending 6 weeks at Lake Tahoe, I planned to head north to Portland, OR. I asked the locals and got several comments that Highway 89 wasn’t suitable for a 37′ RV, to many tight turns or something. I tried it anyway and didn’t really have any trouble. It would have been nasty if it had been snowing though. My plan was to follow 89 North, passed Lake Almanor, then through Lassen Volcanic National Park (no need to make this place a destination). It turned out that I spent the night at McCloud and the next day got onto I-5 just below Weed. Then I just stay on I-5 all the way to Portland. Just a short little backwoods trip.
Here’s a shot of Lake Tahoe from the West side of the lake, from Highway 89. This was taken from an outlook that has a trail to another ‘historic’ home, built at considerable cost and difficulty by another rich lady from San Francisco in the ’40’s. I’d had my fill of historic houses while staying at Lake Tahoe so I didn’t bother to make the trip down the trail.
This is one of many stream that feed Lake Tahoe…I stopped here because it had been a long period of winding around curves and I was needing a break. Not a very good picture, but the river was pretty cool.
Finally reached a place that I can really appreciate…
Here I am at Lassen Volcano Nat. Park.
When I reached McArthur Burney SP, I intended to spend the night at the camp grounds but I couldn’t find a space where I could fit the rig. But I did have time to take a hike to the Falls. Had a neat loop trail back to the campground.
Gorgeous pix, as always!
