Wednesday morning we enjoyed seeing some deer on the terrace of Chuck’s home. Also many birds enjoyed the birdfeed.
Chuck’s home in Shastina
After shopping in the nearby town of Yreka we drove to McCloud. We had a look at the empty dancing hall – much work would need to be done to transform it to the May Call venue a week later.
Afterwards, we went way up to the “Bunny Flat” at Mount Shasta. The road ended there in high snow. And the mount was hidden behind clouds.
At Mt Shasta City, you find old hippies and new age people… We had a good lunch in the Berryvale Grocery – natural foods. Then we stopped at Soul Connections (“a golden age emporium” with lots of esoteric pictures, statues, crystals and other material). While walking through the store, we were surprised to meet Srikanth and Murali – they just brought new books of the WTT to the shop and were on their way to McCloud for preparing the hall of the May Call celebration.
The next day after some errands in Shasta City, we went to the Sacramento Headwaters, a strong source in a little forest where the water from Mount Shasta gushes forth.
Later, we saw the middle falls of the McCloud Falls. There, an old gentleman told us to go and see the Burney Falls, a little farther away.
We did a walk along the falls and the river – impressive beauty of nature. Later in the afternoon we drove up to Castle Lake, which was still partly covered by ice and snow.
