Cloud Time-Lapse Video ↔ Lassen Volcanic National Park

I'm almost six months into self-quarantine (yikes!) so I don't have any new adventures to post. BUT, I did come across some video that was never uploaded from a couple of our hikes in Lassen.

Here's some time-lapse footage of the beautiful clouds on the Paradise Meadow trail and at the top of Mt. Harkness.



I hope you are all doing well and staying safe!

Adventures on Hold ↔ Quarantine Life

adventures on hold quarantine thoughts

This photo is from my last adventure at the Cosumnes River Preserve before going into self-quarantine ten weeks ago. Because I've put my adventures on hold in the hopes of staying safe and healthy, you might not see any new posts or videos from me for a while. I hope the Vaughn the Road Again hiatus isn't going to be a long one and I hope to get out exploring beautiful Northern California sooner rather than later. Be safe, friends!
