7 September — Lassen Volcanic National Park

Our drive yesterday to Lassen was not bad at all. It was 3 1/2 hours to the entrance and then another half hour of slow switchbacks to the Summit Lake South campground. We arrived a day early and did not have a reservation for last night. We decided to stay at the same campground (site D-12) in which we have reservations for 09/07-09/10 (site D-10).

We get settled by 3pm and decide to have an early dinner. We open what turns out to be a terrible bottle of wine (purchased at a warehouse discount grocery store in Redbluff) and get started on a one-dish meal of sautéed chicken, corn pasta, tapenade, cherry tomatoes and jarred artichokes. Can you tell we were putting this together with what we had in the pantry?! It was delicious! The weather got a little windy and cold so we spent the rest of the evening in Diana.
