Camp Shasta

We took a little family trip this week to a PG&E camp up north near Lake Britton. PG&E has several of these camps scattered throughout northern California. They are very rustic cabins (I like to call it "camping") but they do have electricity and indoor plumbing. It's actually quite humorous, the cabins look to have been build in the 1940's? and are not extremely well maintained, but they are decked out with crazy amounts of electric wiring.

We did a great hike on Mt. Shasta



We checked out Burney Falls (someone put a nice smudge on the camera lens)




We watched blue jays eat peanuts off the deck




We tried to stay cool but it was crazy hot. I knew it'd be warm when we scheduled this trip for late July, but I stuck it out as long as I could then talked the family into coming home a day early. I'm a wimp, I know. I missed my a/c. This would be a good "camping" spot for late spring or early fall when the temps are cooler!

A fun trip, though, and I'm super blessed to get to do life with all these souls.

Now we gear up for school and soccer season! Bring it on!
