Roxy the Lumberjack

When times are tough open your mind for ways to make money! My girlfriend and I decided to drive miles into the mountains to her fathers cabin on 40 acres to cut seasoned (fallen) oak wood to sell back in town for money. We took three guys, two trucks and a couple chains saws and before you know it I made over $300 back in town. I sold the wood to my uncle and my grandmother for the cold winter ahead. The kindness this group showed me in my time of need was unlike anything I have experienced in a very long while.

Mt Shasta had a three days storm - it was wet, cold and cloudy but on the fourth day the clouds lifted and this is what was unveiled....
This town never ceases to blow my mind in its beauty. Once a naked mountain is now covered in snow and my blue sky is back! I took my aunts cockier spaniels for a walk today and I walked by a family of deer (in the daylight) who looked right at me and didn't move -they just starred at me with their incredible dark glass-like eyes. A really amazing moment in time. I truly love it here, but it is too small of a town for me to settle in. Enjoying it for now to say the least.

Off Sunday via Amtrak to Oregon to see my Mom - then back to Shasta to leave for LA on the 8th by car for the ride down the Pacific Coast Highway!!!!
