**STAY COOL IN SISKIYOU!**
 Mossbrae Falls:
This is a great place to cool off in all this unexpected heat! it's called Mossbrae Falls and it's located about 2 miles north of the town of Dunsmuir. You walk about a mile up the rail road tracks from Scarlett Retreat to one of the area's true hidden treasures. Amazing it comes right from underground lava tubes, fed by Mt Shasta's melting glaciers, pure spring water that never sees the light of day until it sees you! Call Dunsmuir Chamber of Commerce 530-235-2177 for more info....
Shasta looking at Middle Falls:
Shasta Trout enjoys the cool breeze and refreshing mist that comes from the Middle Falls on the Upper Mccloud River. It's one of her favorite places to visit, especially when it's hot! I wonder what she's thinking in that little doggy brain of hers?
Tiger Lilly Sky Shot 2002:
Isn't life wonderful! from a flowers perspective looking up into the sky and admiring it's ray of light and soft blue backdrop, a sky that feeds the needs of growth and writes a story with clouds. A wild flower really has it made here in Siskiyou County, we have the water, the air and a great climate for health and growth!
Mt Shasta June 2002:
Quick update on snow level here at 7900 foot level on Mt Shasta, top parking lot, looks a little thin! This is how it should be in August, We need a big Winter this year or the States gonna be in trouble. I ask you Mother Shasta, please bring us a huge Winter this year! Everyone that reads this think "BIG WINTER LOTS OF SNOW" We need it for hydro electricity for the State, the fish need it in the rivers, birds and many other creatures are awaiting the normal Winters to return, we hope that this is the year! Meanwhile back to Summer! JT
Shasta and customer bringing one in:
Shasta in action again! Talk about a guide dog that's on top of her game. Customer couldn't be more happy as this lunky monkey puts up a good fight! Shasta remains cool, calm and professional through it all. Hey, she's got a reputation to uphold!
Lunker on the Upper sac 2002:
Nice Rainbow on the Upper Sac, I'll say! Steve of Gilroy, California Landed this on a size 10 Stimulator. The trout hit on the surface right where two currents converge together and a logjam, that provided cover for the trout to easily dart out and munch on unsuspecting pray. Good job Steve, your my "Sizzler of the Week" award winner!
Berryvale Post office 1887:
Mount Shasta's first name was Berryvale, because the abundance of wild berries in the area. This was the first post office in Berryvale in 1870. This is right across the street from the Mt Shasta Fish Hatchery, the oldest fish hatchery in the State, first opened in 1887. The road to see these two historic landmarks is on Old Stage Road, the old stage coach route that delivered the Berryvale mail.** WE"LL FOLKS NOWS THE TIME TO GET OUT OF THE HEAT AND GET UP TO MT SHASTA FOR LODGING, FOOD AND GREAT ADVENTURES! UNTIL NEXT TIME STAY COOL MY FRIEND.. JACK TROUT
