We're off! Complete with bikes in tow, we drove due north to first find a Father's Day hiking trail on Mt. Shasta, only to find unmarked roads. We continued to our first night in Ashland, did a quickie hike through the main downtown creek park, and then met a "gold Shakespeare" on our way to the Standing Stone Brewery. The performer showed his appreciation for Nate's donation by presenting the quote:
"Best souls are molded out of faults and for the most become much more the better for having been a little bit bad."
