April 29, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Current Conditions on Southside 5-2-2013
Bunny Flat
It’s really starting to melt down low but still skiable. A little smokey!
Between 7,000-8,000 ft. it’s marginal and 9,000 up~ GOOD!
Road beyond Bunny Flat
It’s still going to be awhile before the road opens up to the Old Ski Bowl.
Today (Monday) a friend and I headed over to the North Gate Trailhead. We were able to drive within a half mile before reaching snow.
8,000 ft. on Mt. Shasta’s Northside
We were able to skin up from where we parked. Snow was a little patchy down low but consistent most of the way.
Nice Coverage on Hotlum/Bolam Route!
We skinned up to 9,200 ft. before hitting the winds making conditions icy and rough. Found nice snow all the way down to the trail head. Probably not going to last long with the warm temps we’ve been having.
Wondering what’s been happening over at Castle Lake…
Castle Lake
Spring time!!!
Seasonal Waterfall
Now’s a good time to go waterfall hiking. This was an all day hike located in the Castle Crags Wilderness.
Who’s This?
Joaquin Miller!
Miller was may things; miner and traveler; horse thief, lawyer, and judge, Indian hunter and Indian supporter; truth-bender, writer, and at times an amazingly accurate historical interpreter of California in the mid-1800s.

April Showers Brings Pretty Flowers!
April 4, 2013 By Leave a Comment
The month of April has started off with moisture and more to come!
Daffodil Flower
The name “daffodil” is derived from an earlier “affodell”, a variant of Asphodel. The reason for the introduction of the initial “d” is not known, although a probable source is an etymological merging from the Dutch article “de”, as in “De affodil from the 16th century.
Indian Warrior Flowers
Indian Warrior is used as a tea or tincture to promote healthy immune function and its ability to relax tense muscles. The buds and flowers are often added to tea blends for their color, flavor, and relaxing properties. It is also found to be useful in treatment of insomnia, as well as having antioxidant properties.
South Fork of the Upper Sacramento River
Rivers are flowing~It’s going to be a good rafting and kayaking season!
