Saturday morning – cold & drizzly, perfect for going to see the Lake Shasta Caverns. The drive took longer than expected, as the road from the highway down to the cavern ferry was the windiest road we have encountered to date – and we HAVE seen some! We arrived as the ferry was due to leave, and made it just in time, having left our rain jackets in the truck in our haste (to my great regret, as I nearly froze on the lake). The road from the landing , up to the mouth of the caves, was almost vertical in places – Sid was very glad he was not driving, and I was sorry that I was next to the window!
The view from the caverns was spectacular, and we enjoyed the whole experience – we stopped and came out about three-quarters of the way through the tour, as there were just too many steps
for us to manage 
and our tour guide was young and very fit, and completely unconcerned about the more senior members of the party. Although these caverns are in an impressive setting, they are not as spectacular as the Cango Caves at Oudtshoorn or as well lit, but we took some lovely photos and enjoyed the
outing
