Redwoods to Tahoe

We drove (rather, T drive) on Rt 36 across northern California, a road that twists and turns through the mountains.

Very scenic. We crossed the Van Duzen River and the Little Larabee Creek.

Went through the town of Dinsmore which did not take long.





We crossed Butte Creek and the South Fork of the Van Duzen River.

We crossed (or at least drove by) Mad River. I know it's a river; not sure if it's also a town. Also don't know what role (if any) the river had in the life of the Mad River Canoe Company.









Other places: Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Trinity River, Lower Rattlesnake River, Stuart Gap, Rat Trap Gap, and Platina.

We burst back into civilization at the town of Red Bluff, CA. We stopped for lunch and to get our bearings, then headed to Tahoe via I5 and I80. Straight roads meant I was back in the driver's seat.
