Lassen Volcanic National Park - Saturday 29th July
I've divided the pictures from Lassen National Park into 3 sections:
- See what we did on Saturday.
- See what we did on Sunday.
- See beautiful Scenery from the whole weekend.
The first photos show our camp. Its over 5,650ft up! Me, Jenny, Tim and Sudan camped here for the weekend. We're in a camp site but all the individual camps are spread out between the trees. You have to camp next to a 'Bear Box' which is a bear-proof box you put all your food into, (otherwise bears will destroy your tent, or even your car, to get at any food!). On Saturday the 4 of us did a hike to Kings Creek waterfall and some lakes. The strange thing is that it was warm enough to wear shorts and T-shirts, but in some places there is thick snow on the ground! So, we had a snowball fight.
Isn't the view from our camp impressive! The bigger tent is mine, which I shared with Jenny. Sudan and Tim were snuggled up in the smaller 2-man tent.
Tim and Sudan on the edge of a very steep drop (as usual).
Sudan rolls a snowball...
Isn't it strange to see people wearing so little relaxing in the snow! It really was warm... we just got cold hands.
These birds were all over our campsite. They make loud 'skwark' noises.
This is our camp picnic table. This is were I learnt to play Poker! We played by torchlight in the evenings, with real poker chips and everything!
Jenny keeps a safer distance from the edge.
...Tim isn't too bothered.
Yikes! Tim, Sudan and me on a massive rock! If you could see my face you'd know I looked a bit queezy and scared stood there! (Photo by Jennifer Whatson) (I'll get a bigger copy of this soon)
