Heading Home

Crescent City to Mount Shasta

The distance from Crescent City to Mount Shasta as the crow flies is probably about 50 or 60 miles. But the crow is able to fly over the Siskiyou Mountains without regard to the lack of roads. So we drove north and east from Crescent City to Grant's Pass, Oregon, and then southeasterly to Mount Shasta, California. We really had no other reason to drive to Oregon. It was just the convenience - like driving from Batavia, Ohio to downtown Cincinnati via Kentucky. It's just faster and on better roads.

So, while Crescent City was the westernmost point for this trip, Grant's Pass Oregon will go down as the northernmost point. That means that we are now heading in a homeward direction.

Closer to Mount Shasta we stopped for lunch and a photo opportunity.

The two of us laughing about the rubber chicken under my feet.

But let's return to our Crescent City stay and see some more of the photos from there.

Another view of the lighthouse at Crescent City.

While setting up another picture in the redwoods at Crescent City we introduced the rubber chicken to a banana slug. I really don't know too much about banana slugs, but we had been camping in our motorhome at Banana Slug Lane at the local campground.

Now if you happened upon this van you might be hard-pressed to keep a straight face.

I guess that you would have to see the entire van from the side .... see photo below

Do you suppose Dee-Ann has a clue?
