Flights of fancy...........part II


Yesterday, we took the sightseeing flight over Mt. Lassen..........my second time as I did it last year, Bob's first and his birthday gift from Paula.


Meeting up with Dan, our pilot, for the wonderful flight in his Cessna.......camera in the bag ready for snapping non-stop!


Before heading for the mountain, Dan flew us over Paula's home - the middle house with the blue awning covered dock.


Here you can see some of the lakes in the Lassen Volcanic Park  still have surface ice - it was a severe Winter here with unusually heavy snowfalls......................

.
...............the solidified volcanic ash on the lower right flowed into Juniper Lake following the 1915 eruption of Mt. Lassen......is hasn't erupted since...............


..............the cinder cone has a trail to the top, there were a few hikers visible near the bottom as we flew over.


More pictures another time from the air, also from a fabulous road trip through fabulous uncrowded Lassen Volcanic Park.
