Dunsmuir, McCloud, and Shasta City

Dunsmuir
Got going with Jest Jeff this morning down to Castle Crags State Park. We had some cool views of the Castle of Crag, or whatever. It looks like very jagged peaks. Maybe I can camp in the Castle one of these knights... We got down to the road and crossed the Sacramento River. There was a pretty good jumping hole and it looked like it was plenty deep to jump off the bridge. We didn't though as we were very hungry. We got to a cafe for some Internet and the owner made us a breakfast sandwich that they didn't let us pay for. Then, we rolled over to the grocery store and I ate some more to get ready for lunch. Then, lunch and some guy we were talking with bought us another beer. I gotta say we have been getting so much trail magic up here in northern Cali. It seems like it's at least once a day there's a trail surprise, and sometimes 2 or 3 times. After that, it was just schmucking around town picking berries, cherries, and eating apricots. Not a bad town and town visit. Thanks Dunsmir. Then Mommy arrived and swooped me away for a zero tomorrow.
