After hiking Brokeoff Mountain, Jeffery and I drove the winding road through Lassen Park, past the steaming Sulfur Works, Emerald Lake and Lake Helen, and around the Chaos Jumbles, to reach our little cabin at Manzanita Lake. The weather was wet, the clouds and smoke low and obscuring, but we took walks anyway, and loved what we saw.

| our little cabin, which had no electricity or water. Bathrooms across the way, and battery lamps for light. Luckily, it had a heater! |
 |
| the clouds lift to expose what we thought was Lassen Peak. It's actually Chaos Crags. Lassen is to the right, in the clouds. |
 |
| a large tree by the lake |
 |
| a little deer. we saw many deer in our travels. |
 |
| there's our light. we played rummy. Jeffery beat me all hollow. |

We've been there (to the museum and Discovery Center), but never to Manzanita Lake! Thanks for sharing your photos! Looks like a fun place to spend a weekend!
