July 2007 - Hat Creek and McCloud - The saga continues

Travel Day - The Road to McCloud - July 27

We headed north on Hiway 89 to the town of McCloud. McCloud is an old lumber mill and railroad town 12 miles from Mt. Shasta. It is in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. It is only 60 miles from Hat Creek, so it was a short travel day.

Kaya insists on back-seat driving. She would rather be at the wheel.

Here is Kaya Asleep at the Wheel!!!

There is a big road construction project on Hiway 89, and there were some delays.

Ahhh, Mount Shasta in the distance.


We set up in the RV park and decided to check-out McCloud. Kaya did NOT want to go back into the truck. I guess she was tired of driving. Anyway, not much in McCloud, but there is a distinct visual of an old "company town". Many old houses exactly the same (mill workers we presume) then some really big old places (lumber barons we presume). Reminiscent of Camino in our area - another lumber mill town.
