He wouldn't smile until I threatened to punch him in the face.

Jerky anyone?

Baylin and Karen bushwhacking it through the fall-red brush.

Resting on the log.

Did you know we never left our state to visit Castle Lake?
We actually live in the mythical state of Jefferson.

Nope, that bull isn't charging us.
It's a metal sculpture outside of Mt. Shasta.

The same fellow helped build this dragon with high school kids.
It's right on the I-5. Can you name the mountain in back?
Mt. Shasta.
Home of spirits, aliens, bigfoot, and one of the world-famous vortex.
