Day 7 - Lassen Volcanic NP on to Big Bar CA

Poor night of sleep, between restless Buddy, cold temps and noisy heater. Hiked Mill Creek Falls from the Visitor's Center. Rolling hike through forests and valleys – much of the trail along the edge of the slope. Beautiful meadows of wild flowers with chipmunks, robins and chickadees. Flowing streams and waterfalls along the hike. Crashed for an hour or so after the hike. 



 Left Lassen around 1:30 and headed to Big Bar, CA. Twisty, curvy US 36 to Red Bluff and then CA 44 to Big Bar. Elevation dropped from 8,000 ft in Lassen to 1,000 ft within 60 miles. Haven't been close to sea level since November 2104. Stayed at Del Loma RV Park. Shades of Deliverance here, though we were so tired we just stayed. Site was close to Trinity River, which is beautiful- but the RV park was kind of run down. No hopes for a restaurant, so we had dinner at site.
