We went "camping" in the Lake Siskiyou area of Shasta City. We actually rented a cabin, but it was more like a shoebox with a bathroom. The are was beautiful though! The weather was hot, the company was fun, and I need a spa day to recuperate from chasing around Sophia. Camping isn't what it used to be now that we have a kid. Everything is so much work. Who knew dirt would be the least of my worries? Lots of things are actually hidden in the dirt...fish hooks, cigarette butts, bottle caps, straws, you name it...Sophia wanted to taste it. And boy I thought I was so smart about creating a nice dark coccoon for Sophia to sleep in at home. Little did I know that our light sleeper would not thrive in a shoebox surrounded by a bunch of Travalini's. But she actually adapted to the place in the next few nights. We were able to work out somewhat of a routine.
Here's the beautiful lake, with Mt. Shasta in the background.
We took a 4 mile hike one morning.
Sophia playing in the water.
Drove out to the headwaters, where supposedly the purest water can be found. Lots of hippies with all kinds of containers to collect water.

Also went out to one of the oldest trout fisheries.
Tons of sweetpeas...
Trevor and Mario and crew cooked a huge dinner of chicken and tri-tip, feeding at least 60 people.
Most of the ladies were walking around with wine glasses, I walked around with Sophia and Gatorade.
