Great American Road Trip: Day 4

On Tuesday morning, we went to the Lake Shasta Caverns, a fantastic cave in the mountains that requires a boat- and bus-ride to get there.
As we boarded the boat, Stace noticed this WWII troop carrier, which was used in the D-Day landings.





Cora loved our tour - she loves caves! When we got to this one section, she begged our guide to turn off the lights, and he obliged. It was totally pitch black, obviously. I kind of ruined it by taking this photo, but I had to! When would I get this opportunity again?
This was on our walk back to the bus, the mountains and a peekaboo view of the lake.
We then carried on driving north, taking a five-minute detour to see the downtown of this cute town of Dunsmuir.
Mt. Shasta, at just over 14,000 feet.
After we were in Oregon a while, we spotted this most interesting sight on the side of the road. Stace turned our car around so he could get a closer look. 
A Royal Navy plane with the insignia from a base close to Stace's hometown! Incredible. 
We spent the night in Bend, Oregon, an absolutely lovely town on the Deschutes River. We had dinner in the Pine Tavern, a fancy English pub.
Our restaurant overlooked this beautiful river.
