Glenn rode in the
Mount Shasta Summit Century on Sunday. He did the metric century, 58 miles. He's taking his vacation this year in small parts so he had off Thursday - Sunday. We left Friday after I got off work and made it to Ukiah. We took the long way -- Highway 101. Saturday we had time to look around as we made our way north. Glenn & Lauren drove through this tree on their trip a few years ago so we went looking for it again. Roxanne since told me that there are at least 2 other trees in CA that you can drive through. Are there more? Can you see Glenn in the photo below?
This was on the Avenue of the Giants. HUGE trees! I'll have a story to tell later about our hotel situation, but today is only the good stuff. :-) While Glenn was riding Sunday morning I drove out to the
Mt. Shasta Lavender Farm. Made it just in time. August 1 was the last day of the season! Wow, this place was great!
An online friend,
Deborah, told me about this place. What's funny is that she & her family were there on Saturday. We probably passed each other on the freeway! I didn't see photos on her blog yet, but she did feature some of my tags on a recent post. Thanks,
Deborah!!! Here's some of the lavender I picked. It's upstairs drying right now. Think I'll make some sachets soon.

Wow, you took some wonderful photos...love the shot of Mt Shasta in the background and the lavender....well, that is the best...looking forward to seeing what you do with your dried lavender.
WOW! Look at that VIEW! Just gorgeous!
we were at the chandelier tree a couple of years ago.... it's absolutely astounding.
Your lavender pics are lovely.
I have many fond memories of Mt Shasta beacuse I had cousins living there while growing up. And I know I'd love it now, too, if there's a lavander farm to visit. Your photos are lovely!
a lavender farm in view of Mt Shasta--wonderful! I have been in the areas you have mentioned, but never knew of a drive-through tree. sorry to have missed that.
I have always admired the bikers I see riding up mountains.
Hi Ann! yes I bet we did pass each other on the road somewhere during the day, lol.
I'm so glad you made it to the farm, wasn't it soooo fun. I bought some lavendar soap there and it is heavenly. I'll get my blog photos up today for everyone to see too.
I love your fountain photo, I took one too :)
french blessings,
