Aside from a few odd excursion trains, that has been about it.<br /> <br /> A derailment in the wee hours on Memorial Day weekend 2004 forced Amtrak to bus passengers between Redding and Dunsmuir, California. The respective northbound and southbound trains were turned at these points, with passengers bused between trains through the Sacramento River Canyon. <br /> <br /> At the time, I was living in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Once I heard about the wreck and the details of Amtrak's bus bridge, I drove to Dunsmuir to await the northbound train's departure. It was finally ready to go around 5:30 PM for the run to Seattle, and the chase was on. <br /> <br /> This was my last shot of the day, near Macdoel. We're in the Butte Valley just moments before sunset, as the train zooms by at track speed. Back in the day, Southern Pacific had a siding here named Somerset.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/ewoerlen/">optimalfocusphotography</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ewoerlen/48558771306/" title="Shasta Back Roads Milky Way"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48558771306_4b9cc89fbd_m.jpg" width="192" height="240" alt="Shasta Back Roads Milky Way" /></a></p> <p>At night, the Forest Service dirt roads surrounding the base of Mount Shasta are eerily silent, just this beautiful mountain, the still peacefulness and my camera under the light of a billion stars! <br /> <a href="https://www.optimalfocusphotography.com" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.optimalfocusphotography.com</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/57440551@N03/">lhboudreau</a> posted a video:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/57440551@N03/48540874956/" title="In Nature 2016-2019: A Product of my iPhone"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/31337/48540874956_178928279a_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="In Nature 2016-2019: A Product of my iPhone" /></a></p> <p>I had nothing to do with it. The slide show just showed up in the &quot;For You&quot; section of my Photos App. Some algorithm inside the iPhone picked the photos and music. Not bad -- at least it's short. If I had done it, I might have dragged it out for way too long.

Please walk with reverence.<br /> Many years have passed since Kamookumpts, after digging mud from the lake bottom to build this hill, returned to sleep under the lake. From this viewpoint you can see some of the results of the many changes which have occurred since then. The once seemingly endless lake is now some of the richest farmland in the country, producing potatoes, onions, sugar beets, cereal grains, and horseradish.<br /> Today it may be hard to imagine the entire Tule Lake Basin filled with water, but you can see the grain fields which mark the extent of the ancient lake. It may be even more difficult to imagine the millions of waterfowl and thousands of acres of marshlands lost since then.<br /> National Park areas and National Wildlife Refuges today preserve small vignettes of those once-endless expanses of natural resources all across or nation. In these precious and priceless areas you can absorb the riches of this heritage and grow from it. In another sense, in a quiet place like this, the lake and the marshes, the birds and the people are still here. As the grand Modoc landscape lies revealed in front of you, the spirits of those who have gone before still sign behind you.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/ewoerlen/">optimalfocusphotography</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ewoerlen/48471850871/" title="Castle Lake Hike Sunset"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48471850871_2e751af638_m.jpg" width="188" height="240" alt="Castle Lake Hike Sunset" /></a></p> <p>The volcanic Shasta-Trinity National Forest is a vastly under-appreciated area; the scenery and vistas are unprecedented, and where else in the world do you witness multiple types of active and dormant volcanoes in a small area? Well…NOWHERE! Quite literally! This hike somewhat kicked our butts but what a gorgeous view of Mount Shasta and Black Butte with a beautiful foreground of wildflowers!<br /> <a href="https://www.optimalfocusphotography.com" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.optimalfocusphotography.com</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/ewoerlen/">optimalfocusphotography</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ewoerlen/48459165562/" title="Stillness at Night"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48459165562_80fb1e8770_m.jpg" width="240" height="176" alt="Stillness at Night" /></a></p> <p>Just got back from an astrophotography trip to Mount Shasta, and the astro conditions were just perfect! One thing I’ve noticed about this area is the absolute eerie silence at night – no owls, no bugs, just a resounding quietness that is so foreign to our ears attuned to modern distractions. There really is nothing better than bonding with this beautiful mountain, the still peacefulness and my camera under the light of a billion stars! <br /> <a href="https://www.optimalfocusphotography.com" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.optimalfocusphotography.com</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/valeehill/">valeehill</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/valeehill/48341044537/" title="Mount Shasta from Highway 89"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48341044537_4b532fe808_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Mount Shasta from Highway 89" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.overthehillsisters.com/2019/07/mount-shasta.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.overthehillsisters.com/2019/07/mount-shasta.html</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/valeehill/">valeehill</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/valeehill/48340903036/" title="Mount Shasta - Bunny Flat"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48340903036_cb701dea57_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Mount Shasta - Bunny Flat" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.overthehillsisters.com/2019/07/mount-shasta.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.overthehillsisters.com/2019/07/mount-shasta.html</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/valeehill/">valeehill</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/valeehill/48341043927/" title="Mount Shasta from McCloud"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48341043927_03eb3752b0_m.jpg" width="240" height="240" alt="Mount Shasta from McCloud" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.overthehillsisters.com/2019/07/mount-shasta.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.overthehillsisters.com/2019/07/mount-shasta.html</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/valeehill/">valeehill</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/valeehill/48341040382/" title="Mount Shasta from I-5 near Yreka"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48341040382_43eba3e8c1_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="Mount Shasta from I-5 near Yreka" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.overthehillsisters.com/2019/07/mount-shasta.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.overthehillsisters.com/2019/07/mount-shasta.html</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/valeehill/">valeehill</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/valeehill/48341040152/" title="Mount Shasta from Montague @ Highway 97"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48341040152_81c21b3faa_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="Mount Shasta from Montague @ Highway 97" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.overthehillsisters.com/2019/07/mount-shasta.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.overthehillsisters.com/2019/07/mount-shasta.html</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/valeehill/">valeehill</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/valeehill/48340899761/" title="Mount Shasta - Bunny Flat Trailhead"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48340899761_58ba011bbd_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Mount Shasta - Bunny Flat Trailhead" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.overthehillsisters.com/2019/07/mount-shasta.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.overthehillsisters.com/2019/07/mount-shasta.html</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/valeehill/">valeehill</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/valeehill/48341040272/" title="Mount Shasta from Montague"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48341040272_70c34c1da7_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="Mount Shasta from Montague" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.overthehillsisters.com/2019/07/mount-shasta.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.overthehillsisters.com/2019/07/mount-shasta.html</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/valeehill/">valeehill</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/valeehill/48340899341/" title="Mount Shasta in the Side View"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48340899341_e1e2ea01af_m.jpg" width="194" height="240" alt="Mount Shasta in the Side View" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.overthehillsisters.com/2019/07/mount-shasta.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.overthehillsisters.com/2019/07/mount-shasta.html</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/vcwald/">V.C.

This is the Weed rest stop along Interstate 5 (one of the worst I've ever driven in terms of sheer traffic volume, if nothing else). Shasta is a 14,179 foot stratovolcano that last erupted in 1786 which is not all that long ago, and it may not be that long before it erupts again.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/rajendran-photography/">Raj Hari</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/rajendran-photography/48419897141/" title="Mount Shasta - California"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48419897141_06c491bbee_m.jpg" width="240" height="101" alt="Mount Shasta - California" /></a></p> <p>Mount Shasta, CA</p>
