Mount Lassen

View of Mt Lassen from the apex of our off road trek today.

Well I can confirm Mt Lassen is still there.  When we got to the park entrance a sign said the road was closed at the 10 mile point.  Since Arly has the senior pass we went on in and drove to the end of the road.  It was closed at a point that had an interpretative trail and some reasonable views of the mountain.  Since there was nothing else to do in the park we head home and on the way I spotted a gravel road so we jumped on it.  A sign said there was a lookout at 11 miles.  We did not make it that far, stopped by snow over the road but we got high enough to have views of both Mt. Lassen and Mt. Shasta from the same spot.  We ended up parking the truck on the side of the logging road and hiking up about another 1/2 mile or so.  It was pleasant up there.  The truck is now a mess all over again.
