Northern California

This certainly is a big state, the 3rd largest and extremely diverse - from 1264 miles of coastline to desert and snow covered mountains. The high is Mount Whitney at 14,494' to the low of -282' in Death Valley. Went past Lake Shasta with it's red earth and the beatutiful blue water was higher this year. This picture doesn't do it justice. Lots of boats in the marina. Then through the Siskiyou Mountains and down into Oregon. We fueled and stayed overnight at the Peartree in the 'other' Phoenix, not in Arizona.
