I left Tuesday and got back yesterday.

First, I drove up the gorgeous California coast -



I went to a really cool beach that was made up of "gravel" that was actually ocean-polished glass -



Then I took a ride through some beautiful Redwood country -



And on to Lassen Volcanic National Park, where I camped near a mountain lake -



Saw some neat hot springs -



And climbed a volcano -



Up a gnarly trail -



To the summit -



Where the views were incredible -
