Capture California

What is a YOLT? Well, you may have heard the term YOLO. Gary and Sherri think we can live again, not as James Bond, but as being reborn. Consequently, we are having fun in our life, after all, You Only Live Twice.

Adventure: 092, Item 01-Mt Shasta
Team: YOLT
Date:  August 1, 2013
Location: Yreka
Mt Shasta
Description:
Sometimes you have to accept what you can get. This is the case with Mt. Shasta. This very vista point gave a great view of Mt Shasta last year. But this year? Nothing but smoke. It was not until much later did we even get to see a brief outline of Mt Shasta. Where did this smoke come from you might ask? From close to where we came from—Glendale Oregon where the Douglas complex of fires were burning. There had been about 100 wildfires ignited by lightening during the past couple of days.

Adventure 141, Center 03 – Yreka Welcome Center

Sherri and the Yreka Welcome Center
Adventure: 141, Center 03 – Yreka Welcome Center
Team: YOLT
Date:  July 29, 2013
Location: , Yreka

Description:
The Yreka Welcome Center is different than other Welcome Centers which we have visited. A lot of them are in malls or redone transportation centers. The one outside of Yreka is not on commercial property, but at a roadside rest stop. So it is at a place which travelers naturally go to for refreshment and care. This is great. The only downside is we got in a little after five, a few minutes after it closed.
So after being refreshed, we continued along our way.
