Never thought of it as a "skull," just as her "face." (source: grew up a little bit north of the mountain, so always took her "features" for granted.) :)

I grew up in Yreka (but live on the other side of the continent now) and still have family in McCloud. Love seeing the occasional pic of the majestic lady!

As someone who works with the NYS parks staff (not just there at Taughannock, but in other state parks), I thank you for not making their lives more difficult. :)

Now go to actual Northern California (Siskiyou, Humboldt, Shasta counties) and i can’t wait to see what you come back with! this is a beautiful shot, you’ll love the redwoods and the rugged ocean and the valley views with Mt Shasta at the far end.
