One year ago today, I left Oregon and headed south into Northern California to visit Lassen Volcanic National Park.

This would be my first visit to Lassen Volcanic National Park since 1968. It was the first national park I've ever visited.
Along the way, I passed Mount Shasta, like Lassen Peak, it is another volcano of the Cascade Range.

Also along the way, I noticed an "Adopt-A-Highway" sign noting that the area's Clampers sponsored road cleaning on that stretch of road. After all, this was Clamper Country.

I was able to get a campsite at Manzanita Lake Campground, which is at the northern part of the national park. It was pretty much as I remembered it, except this time the campground wasn't overrun by deer.

After resting a while, I took a drive around the park. It was very enjoyable as there weren't too many people in the park.
Following a two-night stay, I headed home.
