Mount Shasta Fourth of July Festival 2009

We just did the 3-day festival up in Mount Shasta City.

On Wednesday, we left Hayward around 10:10 and had a few stops to make along the way. We arrived in Weed at 4:15PM and checked into our Motel and took a little rest. As we left the motel there were some drops of what I originally thought were rain on my windshield. But believe it or not, it was actually snow because of the shape of the crystals. I could not believe what my eyes were seeing. Maybe 5-10 small flakes that melted immediately. I looked over in the direction of Mount Shasta and saw some really ugly dark, ominous clouds surrounding it. We arrived in Mt Shasta City at 5:30 and began setting up our canopy. We stuck around until 8:00PM and didn't really accomplish very much since it was still quite warm. We also encountered a few sprinkles of something here and there and we had some threatening cloud formations. We closed everything up and headed back to the motel for the night.
