April 21-22, 2024 Honey Lake to Trinity River, California

 High of 76 and sunny.

Sunrise over Honey Lake. I got up to shut the shades and there it was. Then back to bed. Nice day to sit in the lawn chair and work on baskets. This one is a little funky. It is supposed to be a turtle on stones and water. Looks a little better in person. It is made from dyed pine needles, polyester thread, glass beads and the center is a dichroic  glass  turtle I cast. 7 x 7 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches.

I made this basket sometime ago. I put the beads on it today. It is made with dyed and natural pine needles, polyester thread, glass beads and the center is a glass dichroic heart I cast. 6 x 6 x 3 inches. We had dinner over looking the lake.

Sunset west, sunset east. 

The moon is not supposed to be full until Tuesday, but it  was looking pretty full tonight. View driving over the Sierras of Mt Shasta in the distance through burned forest. 

A view of Mt Lassen through burned forest. Snow on the ground a the high point in the Sierra's.

Oak trees and green grass. Wild flowers.

Trinity river canyon. We are now camped at Del Loma RV park on the Trinity river. It was 88 degrees and humid when we arrived. Very lush and green. 

Field of dwarf lupine.  Madrone trees. 

Twisty trunks of the madrone trees. I walked to the 'beach' at the campground on the Trinity river. The water is so high it is underwater. 

The swimming pool is open. Bedstraw, poison oak, phlox, Indian warrior, white flowers, hairy pink, dwarf daisies, and lilacs are blooming.

We bought fuel in Redding at the cheapest place between Nevada and our destination. Most prices we saw were up to $5.90 a gallon. Hillside of lupine and poppies, Bigfoot at the RV park, fruit trees and scotch brome along the way, and dwarf lupine. Dinner in our campsite.

Redbud tree, quince, white tailed deer, memory making campground, violet, cat's paw, wild mustard and red oak leaves.
