Shasta Daisy

We spent the last few days in Lakehead near Mt. Shasta area on Lake Shasta.

Stayed at "Antlers" which is a campground\resort\marina. We are told this place and area really pops after Memorial Day. Lake Shasta is noted for being big houseboat lake supposedly more of them than Lake Powell. And I can understand why. The lake is beautiful with many little inlets that they allow camping.

However, if boating isn't your thing there are plenty of hiking, rivers and little towns that offer a lot of vistas and charm. There was a fun little hotel that was a collection of old railroad caboose cars. We had good time exploring the area. We liked it so much we stayed a few more days.

According to the camp ground guide - they rated the RV parks higher in Redding. Just shows that what the guides rate high for looks is not the same as what I rate for looks. The parks in Redding were all off the highway and may be newer but this place has charm. And trees. Plus it is right on the water. This area has that old campground feel and there are other parks near by if you can't get into this one. We were off season so the rates were very reasonable and the area quiet - that may not be the case later in high season.

We headed out of California towards Bend, Oregon. We were going to stay few days at Crater Lake National park near the north entrance but decided to turn around and continue on since they were still snow plowing and the park entrance was still closed. Brrrr. What happened to summer this year? JLS
