Shasta Lake - August 22-23

Shasta Lake was our first stop.  It is a huge lake in northern Cali, just north of Redding.  Despite the fact that we rode around the lake in an old fishing boat that wanted to tip over from the tiniest waves, Lake Shasta was the perfect first stop in this 3,800 mile journey.

Some beautiful views of the lake

 
Our aluminum fishing boat. Ain't she a beauty??

Our first campsite

A gourmet dinner of salad, heated canned vegetables, and chicken noodle soup. Who knew roughing it could taste so good?
