Roadtrip part 1-Housekeeping in Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, McCLoud B&B near Mt. Shasta, Shasta Dam

 This is one shot of the view from our housekeeping unit in Yosemite.
 Here's our home for the 5 days in Yosemite & Kirk reading the biography of Jedediah Smith
 "The Group" shot includes Robin & David and 2 of their daughters and families, 
David's brother Tom and Mary and 1 of their daughters and her 3 sons... and Kirk and I!
 We had a lovely breakfast at the Ahwanee coffee bar with Robin and David
 Robin with her 7 mo. old grandson, Lars at the Lodge Pool. Cute huh?
 Sentinel Rock from Cook's Meadow
 Kirk and I sat IN the river to cool off!
 We enjoyed Lee Stetson's portrayal of John Muir at the live theater in Yosemite.
 Going over Tioga Pass we spotted some of the most beautiful scenery!
 Love this stream by the side of the road!
 Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe. We took the paddle-wheel boat last time we visited, so decided to go up here and look down on it this time--glad we did!
 McCloud River Inn B&B at the foot of Mt. Shasta. We stayed here 3 nights.
 The lumber town of McCloud is tiny but charming!
 Mt. Shasta is definitely a volcano!
 This is Doc Holliday's dentist chair in the McCloud Museum
 Remember him from the Wild West stories?
 We took a very interesting tour of Shasta Dam. 
Here is the spillway looking straight down (Kirk took it!)
 This one is the spillway from the bottom looking up. Those holes are over 6' high each.
Good-bye Mt. Shasta!
 McCloud River Middle Falls was such a treat to experience!
