Mama’s Birthday Gifts at Mount Shasta

Me at Mount Shasta

Peace, Beauty, Nature,

All gifts from us fur Mama,

Fur a happy day!

Me and Nalle felt right at home in Mount Shasta! (Our names mean “Bear”!)

Furst we tookst Mama to the Peace Garden in the city of Mount Shasta. It was furry peaceful!

There were angels

And lots of yummy smelling lavender surrounding a living labyrinth!

The Labyrinth – Mama said we could not walk it. Something a bouts us messing up the path. WOO!

We saw Buddha!

And prayer flags efurrywhere! We even made our own and hung it on a tree!

We saw Quan Yin!

And Amma

And our buddy Saint Francis. Remember we went to church fur Saint Francis Day? Check it out here: https://haikubyku.com/2014/10/05/the-blessing-of-the-animals/

This pole had different language peace prayers

Then we drove up, up, up over 5,000 feet to get to the Gray Butte Trailhead

Mount Shasta peak in the distance. It’s over 14,000 feet and gots glaciers! Mama said we were not going to the top, but I knew I could do it if we did.

We went through Panther Meadow, but no panthers in sight

I finally gots Nalle to dip her toes in one of the little creeks in Panther Meadow

Most of the trail was furry narrow, rocky, and along ridges. We had to go single file most of the way and I was the pack leader, Mama was the power in the middle, and Nalle took up the rear

I luvsed the view from the top of Gray Butte. I coulda stayed all day

We climbsd to over 8,000 feet! Wooooowoooooooo!

I did one of my protests cuz I didn’t want to leave the beauwoowoooootiful mountain. Mama says I can be as stubborn as a Malamute! WOL!

Me and Nalle tookst Mama out fur Mexican food fur her birthday after the hike! She says it was yumwumwum!

Nalle and Me sat in the shade and hydrated some more

Nalle being goofy girl under the table

And nows wez all tuckered out, but furry happy!
