Abert Rim Country and the Volcanic Plateaus of Northeast California

I've never been in this corner of the Great Basin before: Gray's Butte, near Alkali Lake, at the north end of Abert Rim Country in southern Oregon. Love the vistas!
Children's artwork at the highway rest stop.
Abert Lake. Water! We are back in the Pleistocene again!

Near Lakeview, Oregon, the highway makes its final ascent out of the Great Basin.

Where's Mt. Shasta? Where's Mt. Shasta? Oh! Right in front of me!

Nice drive, followed by traffic jams along I-5 near Redding and Anderson, CA, and a quick race home to musical theater rehearsal (to which I arrived five minutes late).
