Doug's Adventures: Black Butte cindercone - little sister to Mt Shasta
http://dougsgoathikes.blogspot.com/2009/08/black-butte-cindercone-little-sister-to.html
Friday, August 21, 2009. Black Butte cindercone - little sister to Mt Shasta. Black Butte has had many names through the years. This one seems to have stuck for now. If have ever driven through the Siskyou valley past Mt. Shasta City you almost drove right into Black Butte. It is a symetrical cindercone just east of the freeway near Mt Shasta proper. Do this on a morning so as to have as clear a day as possible, and to cut down on the afternoon heat exposure. Be ultra-careful not to start one on the folk...

Doug's Adventures: Deadfall Lakes and Mt Eddy
http://dougsgoathikes.blogspot.com/2009/08/deadfall-lakes-and-mt-eddy.html
Saturday, August 22, 2009. Deadfall Lakes and Mt Eddy. Deadfall Lakes (upper and lower) are very beautiful areas with abundant campsites with less than attractive names. This is a great younger scout activity. The PCT follows the contours of the land and rises only 400 feet or so in the 3 mile hike. You can also begin in the bottom of the canyon and hike up that way. It is very beautiful. This was late June or early July and you can see the upper lake still has ice on it. Posted by Doug's Adventures.

Tuesday, October 18, 2011. Papoose Lake - Sept 2011. We gathered our courage and planned a final trip into the Alps for 2011. Don Hook, Darrell Rainey, myself, Pedro and Charlie embarked from Hobo Gulch trailhead about noon. Mike Rainey came up later and made incredible time to catch us just at dark. Deer hunters had not yet arrived en masse and we really had the canyon to ourselves. Rattlesnake Creek. Trailhead altitude is roughly 3000 ft elevation. The trail now steepens and you head straight up at one...

Doug's Adventures: Grizzly Lake Part II
http://dougsgoathikes.blogspot.com/2009/09/grizzly-lake-part-ii.html
Thursday, September 24, 2009. Grizzly Lake Part II. One trip to Grizzly Lake this year just wasn't. Enough. Bishop Hook and his son, Cory, from. Florida came and made a threesome. It was great! We packed the goats and tried to keep our packs. The trail joins the Hobo Gulch route and gradually ascends 4 miles or so back up to 6000' at Grizzly Meadow. We had a great campsite and the Hooks were very patient with my recipes in the dutch oven - which, for the most part turned out tolerably well. Goatpacking d...
