Photos of the local Museum and its new display of Native American Baskets of Northern California. A man had all these baskets in his garage for years. of course the storage conditions were poor, but the baskets survived. Now they are stored at a constant temperature with flowing air to safely perserve them
The Sacramento River has its beginning about 1 mile from this spot.

Looking out from near the summit of Shasta.
Mount Shasta is not connected to any nearby mountain. It rises abruptly and stands nearly 10,000 feet (3,000 m) above the surrounding terrain. The mountain has attracted the attention of poets, authors, and presidents. Shasta was memorably described by the poet Joaquin Miller:
"Lonely as God, and white as a winter moon, Mount Shasta starts up sudden and solitary from the heart of the great black forests of Northern California."[7]
Mount Shasta's west face. June 2009Naturalist and author John Muir said of Shasta:
"When I first caught sight of it over the braided folds of the Sacramento Valley, I was fifty miles away and afoot, alone and weary. Yet all my blood turned to wine, and I have not been weary since."[8]
Theodore Roosevelt said:
"I consider the evening twilight on Mt. Shasta one of the grandest sights I have ever witnessed."Views of Mount Shast
