Anyway, instead of quilt photos, I have these gorgeous photos from Lassen Park, where we went last Tuesday. It's an amazing place. It used to be a huge volcano, but it exploded, sending rocks all over (we started seeing them surprisingly early on the drive). It left behind what is now a beautiful crater with sulfur pots and scenery.
Over by the sulfur pots we visited:

I was obsessed with the elevation signs. I wish I had known how cool the progression was going to be, or I would have started with the first one I noticed at 2,000 feet. Here's 8, 000:

Lake Helen, a beautiful lake inside the crater:

Summit Lake where we stopped for lunch and my camera died. My sister-in-law Crystal loaned me her point and shoot for the rest of the drive, since she was riding her Harley. I'm not telling which pictures are from which camera.
