Our last day on the road home


Eagle Lake , California a beautiful lake in the mountains of northern California.


The hamlet on Eagle lake


The morning sun lit the hillside...


... and farther down the road Sharyn takes a picture of a dry lake bed.


Of course the stimulus package is paying for a lot of road work and employing thousand of workers (not all on this particular road).


Mount Shasta seemed to be following us since our drive pretty much was skirting the East and Northern edge of this great mountain for many hours of our drive.


A hill rose above the roadside stop we took for lunch in the Musemobile.


I found a pine cone and balanced it on top of the roadside highway post.


Then I looked back on the road we had just traveled...


... and some of the roadside vegetation...


... in a variety of colors and ...


... shapes from a distance ...


... and up close.


It was a perfect place to stop...


... and enjoy the scenery.


A little farther on the road we saw the footings of an old bridge...


... and the creek that ran through it.


I saw a dying weed coming up through some metal stairs.


As we neared Klamath Falls. Oregon there was a beautiful plateau...


... that was lit by the sun at times and other time covered by shadows.


Once again Mt. Shasta popped up in the distance...


... then one last view of the plateau - then back home.
