Hiking and Camping.  On his invitation I joined him July 8-19, 2002 for a camping and hiking vacation in Northern California and Southern Oregon.  We spent several days in four major National parks and Monuments--Lassen Volcanic National Park, The Lava Beds National Monument, Crater Lake and the Redwood National Park.  If you are interested in viewing almost 300 photos of this trip, they are available at OFOTO.  Email me at bobzehr@cox.net for directions to access them</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom"
