Yesterday morning we left the Mount Shasta area, and started heading towards Medicine Lake to hunt for mushrooms, deep in the national forests.
We headed east from the Weed, Shasta and McCloud area on 89, took a left on forest road 15, then took the branch from there on forest road 49.
After a while, we drove through a section of the forest full of igneous rocks.
Decided to search this area. We were getting way up there in elevation, evidenced by the hard pack snow on the ground. No luck here.
Note the moss on the pine trunks.
Snow blocking the road. With no snow tires, no way were we going to risk driving the rental car through that. At this point we were only about 5 miles from Medicine Lake.
More intersection of lava fields and forest.
Well. Back onto the main roads, where potholes are filled and fallen trees aren't blocking half the road.
