What an amazing day! We left Reno fairley early and drove northwest through California to Lassen Volcanic National Park. What amazing scenery as we drove up the side of the last volcano to erupt in the US prior to Mount St. Helens. Above the snowline we dicovered that the road we were on had only been opened for a couple of weeks (they had 42 feet of snow this winter and a lot of it was still around).
Given that Iona and Calum will probably write much more eloquently about the day, I thought that I would share some photos.
To see bigger and better versions along with a whole lot more, you can always take a look at my flickr account.

Coming in to Lassen National Forest
On the way up.
The Sulfur Works were closed – that stinks!
This is where the road was closed only a few weeks earlier
The Trail to Bumpass Hell was closed by snow – bummer!
On the way back down from the summit (the road goes over 8500 feet)
At the entrance to the Subway Caves
[…] The questions were amazingly hard, though funnily enough, a lot of the answers involved places with Therap connections including.Lassen National Park […]
