1st August Weaverville to Dunsmuir

54F at 7am, back up to 101F by 4pm - absolutely roasting. Thought we would drive by Trinity lake, maybe have a paddle.

Outside the motel in the morning (pool to cool down in last night)
Trinity lakebed from roadside





The Marina shoreline

A 5 mile drive up a dusty road to a "trail head" ... still in the trees. SInging & talking because its bear country

Prior to this we drove close to a mother & fawn (no picture)



Head of Scott mountain trail - nearby a Search & Rescue party being set up by the Sherrif for a "missing person" and by the way "there's a fire over there". We saw a helicopter with a suspended bucket earlier which will have been on its way to the fire. 


A brief saunter  along the trail (it was very hot!)

There's the fire smoke

Mt Shasta
Our room for the night at Dunsmuir Railroad Park - and another welcome pool
