Shasta Bally

There was high Avalanche warning so we didn't go on the Mt.http://www.shastaavalanche.org/ I drove to Redding and Julie and I hiked up Shasta Bally. We hiked 11+ miles 6.5hrs. This was a really good hike to increase our length of time out and be WAY challenging too. Setting us up for Monday, I think we might go on the Mt. toward Lake Helen with Linda soooooo excited. This month we are suppose to do a 8+ hr hike, YIKES!!!
Located north west of Redding, California, near Whiskeytown reservoir. This site is the terminal for the North Leg of the SS12000 microwave radio. The terminal feeds a 50 watt Comwave ITFS transmitter (channel A1), which serves the Redding area. The ITFS signal is also received by a translator at Soda Ridge near Dunsmuir.
Winter weather is extremely severe. The site is manned continuously by a technician employed by KRCR, Redding. Winter access is by snowcat or helicopter only.


It was so weird to drive south to Redding and do a hike that the last leg of it we were hoofing it in the snow:-)
6,209ft SW of Whiskey Town Lake, NW of Redding.

The views were just amazing, I was sooo pooped and STARVING, I am glad I have these pics, I appreciate it this morning:-)









We had planned to go to the new
Trader Joe's on my way out of town but I decided that would have to wait for another day. Now that's pooped!
