We started out staying in Mt. Shasta City but of course had to visit Weed, about 8 miles up the I-5, on our way to southern Oregon. Weed is named for 1800s lumber baron Alfred Weed, by the way. I'm guessing he'd be pretty surprised at the souvenirs from his town: a clay pot labeled "a little pot from Weed," for instance.We visited the Living Memorial Sculpture Garden just outside Weed. A local sculpture has created the memorial to those who have served. The Garden is kept up by local Marines veterans.
We hiked up a steep hill to cliff-side hot springs pools in the Umpqua National Forest in southern Oregon. Thanks for the tip, Ramzi!Some people hiked down to the freezing cold river after soaking in the hot springs. Below, Tom crosses the creek on the way up the mountain.
