HAT CREEK RESORT

May 19, 20, & 21, 2009

 

 

Continuing north we made a stop not far from Mt Shasta In Northern CA.   Old Station Post Office is conveniently located next to the office, motel, and cabins of Hat Creek Resort where friends from Yuma are working this summer.  There are even some Yerts and horse corals.

         

Laura Lee at work in the store/office.                  JD working on the grounds.

 

            

RV spaces are nestled among the pines.                 Fishermen are entertained by Hat Creek.

 

           

                                      Some Yurts...including a honeymoon one.

 

             

The Pacific Crest trail is behind the campground and hikers use the campground for showers and to pick up supplies and mail through the Post Office.

 

We did some sightseeing in the area.

                  

Lassen Volcanic National Park                                     McArthur-Burney Falls    

                   

It  was a pleasant hike to the bottom of the falls, across the creek and up and over the top of the falls and back to the parking lot. The shade in the canyon was welcome.
