Day Ten...On the Road Again...

Today we left the hotel at 8:00 am for our trip to Turtle Bay. Made a few stops along the way and listened to about 13 presentations. My turn didn't come up so I will be presenting tomorrow morning.

We saw the Sundial Bridge which is an amazing piece of architecture and the only working sundial bridge in the world...

We explored the Turtle Bay Exploratorium and saw the aviary and the butterfly house. The butterfly house was really beautiful. The aviary was really noisy.

We had dinner on the outdoor patio next to the Sundial Bridge, drank wine and watched the light slowly illuminate the bridge from below.
Tomorrow we go to Burney Falls and Lassen Volcanic National Park, including Summit Lake, Kings Meadow, Helen Lake, Hot Rock, Bumpass Hell, Little Hot Springs and the Sulfur Works. And then we go back to San Francisco and collapse in our hotel rooms.
