We're here! Fair Oaks, CA with Joe and Linda Nix, Peyton James. Taking time to update my blog before the big birthday bash for Andy Nix. Can't believe he's 30. Gosh all mighty how times flies. I am going to digress to tell you about our day yesterday. We stayed in Red Bluff, CA, which is about 45 miles west of Lassen Volcano National Park, and drove over to the park, through miles and miles of forest. Beautiful scenery and a lovely drive, not crowded, and very pleasant. We were amazed at the grandeur and the difference in terrain around every corner. We thoroughly amazed and astounded at this phenomenon of mud pots and sulfur ponds. This is a most beautiful area of our great nation. Every American should try to see our great country.
