We had such a nice time visiting with Don and Joy. Here they are at home in their garden with their dog, Holly.

But, here's where Don is really at home. He may be in our home, but he's in front of a computer - and that's where he belongs!


And, what beautiful roses they grow.


Here's their other home:


When we left Eureka, we headed east on highway 299. We knew it was going to be steep and windy ... Jim drove and he said it was 'fun'!


There were 4 summits on this highway, from 2 to 4,000 feet. The steepest grade was 8%. That's the steepest we've seen so far and the curves were the tightest - but it sure was pretty.


And, this is gold-mining country:


We spent the night at a rest stop ... had the place to ourselves ... worked out great.


We stopped for breakfast at Macarthur/Burney falls state park. Really beautiful.

We are currently visiting Lassen Pines RV Park. We met the owners thru friends in Fort Lauderdale last winter. It's near Macarthur, California which is in a valley where you can look north and see Mt. Shasta - look south and see Mt. Lassen. Here's Shasta.
