Lake Shasta caverns

3 J’s go to Shasta lake caverns. Boat tour across Lake Shasta (45 min drive form town of Mt. Shasta) for 15 minutes.

Upon landing we took a tour bus up 800 ft to the caverns. For an hour tour we go through the caves and we all enjoy it. I take lots of pics. Moist and in the 70’s inside with the humidity, even though the real temp was in the 50’s.

Great living rocks like stalactites and spaghetti formations. Some quite large- one caverns was 180' high inside and loaded with formations.

On the road up, squirrels have become smart and roll pine cones in front of the tires to crush them and thus reveal the pine nuts. Tour operators decide to avoid the cones to save their tires. Squirrels step up and roll out cones right before the moving vehicles can swerve.
