4/10 Drive from Nevada to Oregon

This was a very pretty four-day drive through Nevada and Northern California to Oregon.  Not much to say about it--just photos of desert, mountains, and snow.

There are a lot of little towns in the desert that are abandoned or almost abandoned.  They are the modern equivalent of the old western ghost towns, except with a lot more trash.

A pretty mountain behind an RV park I stayed at for a couple of days.  Rested up and did four loads of laundry. 

This lake was brown with silt from the mountains behind where I was standing to take this photo.  There has been a lot of rain in the west in the last couple of months, so everything is flooded and/or green.  

This is the far north of Northern California where there are volcanic mountains nearby.  Much of this is Lassen National Forest.  I have camped at Eagle Lake, not too far from here, and have reservations again there for next summer. 

This is a view of Mt. Shasta, taken from the south. It was very windy, so the snow is being blown off the peak.

Mt. Shasta is not too far from the Oregon border, so only a couple of hundred miles left to Eugene, where I will be for a couple of days.
