Yamsi Ranch.
We left Redding before 9 am and it was already hot. Easy drive up I-5 with lots of trucks and then over to Klamath Falls on US97.
Two views of Mount Shasta.
In Klamath Falls we picked up some fireworks and milk and filled both vehicles with gas. Up the east side of Klamath Lake and right at Chiloquin. Thirty miles and one mountain later we turned in to Yamsi Ranch. Yamsi Ranch is owned by my cousins and I have been visiting and sometimes living here since my pre-teen years. It is a large working cattle ranch. The headwaters of the Williamson River start just outside their fence and the first six or seven miles of the river flows through their land. This section of river has some of the best fly fishing in the world. This is not a boast but an evaluation of many the best fly fishermen. If interested in fishing at Yamsi click this link.
We spent some time greeting and visiting and about mid-afternoon Dan, Lori, Griffin, and Claire arrived. They had been spending a few days in the Bend area. The kids were introduced to their cousin Lizzy who introduced them to the quad runner and from then on the ranch looked pretty good to the city kids. Dan was introduced to the mysteries of fly casting and that pretty much filled his spare moments while he was here.
Williamson River
The dot in the water in the center of the picture is a muskrat. It swam within three feet of us but I was slow to take picture.
