Reached Hat Creek, California

After Clearlake we descended into the Central Valley again, first to the west to Colusa, then to the north to Chico.
Then the temperatures started tot rise tot record values, just as we had tot climb out of the valley again towards Lassen Volcanic National Park. But we succeeded and this morning we went over the highest point in the park (2594 m), with snow still piled up along the way.
The spectacular views on the volcanic mountain peaks made good for all the hard work and sweat.
Next special place tot visit will be Lava Beds.
