Weekend Ideas // Back on Sunday

Lassen National Park

Went there for a long weekend a few weeks back. Great views, we stayed at a motel close by since we wanted to be lazy and not camp. We did the hike to the summit.

The trails they take you seem to go on forever through the national forest. It's kind of costly over $100 for a couple of hours but I can blow that on a dinner or worse yet gamblin.. read more...
