I had a delightful visit with my cousin, Phyllis and her husband, Bob. We took a drive through Carmel-by-the Sea – thought I would include a picture of a lovely view. When I checked into the campground, I was informed that any vehicle over 22″ cannot drive in the park.…

Greetings from Susanville, CA
•
Susanville is located about 200 miles north east of Sacramento. I wanted to visit some of the lesser known national parks – Lassen Volcanic National Park is one of those. I am expecting something similar to Yosemite – with the natural eruptions, etc. and fewer crowds! There are not many…
