Redding, CA (Day 3) - Best Water on Earth!















We decided that we would just do a little road trip today to see some of the area north of Lake Shasta. We drove about 45 min to a little train town called Dunsmuir. It's this really cute, idyllic town along the 5. Their claim to fame is 'Best Water on Earth,' and they prove it with little water fountains all over the town. We also got some great views of a snow covered Mt Shasta a little farther north of Dunsmuir.

We got a bite to eat at the Dunsmuir Brewery and also, um, drank some beer. We knew we were out of Utah when we got a little buzzed after just two beers.. this surely wasn't any of that 3.2% beer from Utah!

After we sobered up a bit we drove to Castle Crags state park and did a quick hike up a scenic trail to get a really awesome view of both the crags and Mt Shasta.

It's a really beautiful time here in Redding. There has been a lot of fresh rainfall and what are usually golden fields of grass are now nice and green!
