It was 16 degrees in the Siskiyous overnight, but by the time we got there, around 11am, it was above freezing. Mount Shasta was spectacular as always. We stayed at…

It was suppose to be a shorter drive, but one look at the weather report changed all that. We had Harvest Host reservations at Slash X Ranch Cafe in Barstow, CA for Monday night and Joshua Tree for two days beginning Tuesday. I looked at the weather report and to our surprise, it had changed. …
