Road Trip - Part Two

 Meal selections and entertainment were limited in Weed, but everyone made the best of it and had a lot of fun.  Including having a sarsaparilla a the Mt. Shasta Brewery, both Ada and Navi did not like it.
 And for the most part everyone enjoyed going out to eat every night.
 One day PapaJason drove everyone out to the middle of nowhere, where it began to snow, to Lav Beds National Monument.
It was an awesome park and Navi and Ada both really enjoyed the first lava tube which was lit up.
Everyone borrowed flash lights from the Park Rangers because...
Only one of these lava tube/caves had lights.
It was DaddyQuique's kind of park, you drive to a parking lot and walk out a few feet and start heading down into the lava tubes.
Was it mentioned that it was snowing most of the time?
Some tubes were quite fun and easy.  Some of the more intermediate tubes proved a bit too much for Navi who at times was a bit afraid.
But overall everyone had a lot of fun.
Then the snow really started coming down at one point, it was a good thing most of the time was being spent underground.
Until PapaJason decided to take a two mile hike on The Big Nasty trail.  All was great in the beginning until a blizzard blew in (the blizzard part may be exaggerated, but it was snowing).
Back in Weed, the whole town was covered in white.  The nights were very cold, but it did not bother anyone when walking to dinner.  The twins loved it!
