Nov 30	Final escrow/closing on my house (1991, 1511sf, 3br, 2ba, 2car, cvrdpatio, rvprkng, cncrete walks side & back) I'm planning to shop hard for a digital camera this season, so pics of house should appear before Y2K.
Dec 01	Movers delivered all my stuff to my house. Unpacking is a drag.
Dec 08	Still here and still liking it. Still not totally unpacked or organized. I'll eventually try to find some local WebCams to link to, and weather stuff.
Dec 11	The Mid Pacific Construction Office X-mas party is in Orland tonite from 6pm to ???
Dec 15	I drove to Portland via I-5. Mt. Shasta was pretty cool looking. It's about 2 to 2 1/5-hrs from my house. I visited with Jim, Natalia and Dave. Drove up the Columbia River to the town of Mt. Hood, visited a few pubs, and did some shopping at the Saturday Market in downtown Portland.
Dec 19	Drove back to Chico. I took a different route back, I-5 to Eugene, 58 to 97, 97 to I-5 at Mt. Shasta, then home. It was a really nice drive back, dry pavement all the way. I stopped by the highway and watched people ride the Ski lift up into and disappear into the Clouds at the Willamette Ski Park. I tried to detour and drive by Crater Lake but the road was closed for the winter. The trip was 500 miles, and took 9-hours each way. Great views of Mt. Shasta!
Dec 26	Drove up Hwy 32, to Chester and up into the southern Mt. Lassen area as far as I could. Almost got stuck in the snow so I came out again. Tried to drive up to the Stover Mt. Ski area, but it is closed now, and there was a locked gate. As I drove to it, I pasted a winter PLAY area with people sledding down a hill by the road. Then I dove up to the entry station for Mt. Lassen National Park. I knew the road thru would be closed, but I wanted to see how far I'd get. They were letting people in to the first parking lot ( 1000' ), and from there they said that you could walk on packed snow ( 1.5 mi ) to the bubbling mud pits and some steam vents (it blew it's top in 1915). It was after 3:15 and it gets dark here about 5pm and they wanted $10.00 to get in, so I declined and drove back to Chico the long way via Hwy 36, to Red Bluff, then to Chico, about 1:50 min.

Below are three Oregon Dept of Transportation Higway Cams:
My webpage doesn't update them automatically, but there is a new pic avail every 20-30min.
Click on your REFRESH button every 30-min or so, to display updated cam pics.

You can find this cam site at:
http://www.odot.state.or.us/travel/

This one is on I-5, just north of the OR/CA border. The elev. is about 5,000 feet.
This cam is good, cause it's near Siskiyou and it holds the last picture before it gets dark each day.
This one is on Hwy 58, btwn Hwy 97 and Eugene, OR. It's elev. is about 5,200 feet.
There's a ski resort right near here, right next to to highway.

This is a roadmap that shows where these three ODOT CAMs are.

This is Shasta Cam No. 01. Mt. Shasta is Southeast from the ODOT Cam at Siskiyou Summit.

I don't know the CAMs elevation yet, but the top of the lift is 6,880 ft.

This is Shasta Cam No. 02.

This is a Cam on Mt. Ashland. I think it's updated at least daily, but not on any set interval. The top of the lift at Mt. Ashland Ski Area is 7,500 ft. The base is 6,350. It has two double and two triple chairlifts. The longest run is 1-mile.

This image is NOT updated at all. It just shows the trails.
