Mt. Shasta City (August 10-11, 2022)

We hung out with Mt. Shasta City locals at Handsome John's Speakeasy. Handsome John himself works hard in the kitchen making pizza and fresh sushi. I recommend the goat cheese/basil/pesto/sundried tomato pizza. 

Mmm!  Sushi made to order by Handsome John himself.

The Sacred Well is a Wiccan-owned shop near Mt. Shasta featuring healing crystals, organic and wild-crafted herbs and teas, no-waste beauty products and more. The open-air Kuan Yin Sanctuary behind the store is available to the public 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

A line of people was collecting drinking water from the headwaters of the Sacramento River in Mt. Shasta City. We figured, despite warnings, the water must be safe to drink if so many people were collecting it.

We collected water too and drank it that day. No ill effects!  Plus, a kind New Age woman gave us a ripe avocado which we enjoyed with our dinner salad.
