I just needed the fluid lift it up where the hole is and I could've done the rest when I was done. I need to wash my hands. I asked about the restaurant. Nope he said go next-door someone else said so I went next-door to Rays Hardware Store, noted a few items I could use at home in in Carson City but needed to wash my hands.... I have a young woman at the counter in the back of the store about a public restroom. She looked me up and down and told me no to either go to the grocery store or to Subway. everybody knows subway doesn't have a public bathroom, so I simply turned around and Left. I by no means look homeless, I was prepared to purchase items. I turned around and went to Valero. There I was greeted by a friendly cashier, washed my hands bought some snacks and lottery... I've been coming to this area for 50 years..it is no longer a welcoming, friendly place. The people I encountered at oreillys were rude, the girl at Rays shouldn't work with the public. I was happy to head back to Nevada.. so sad not to have lunch at Black Bear and head to the park to drink the water from the mountain. This use to be a welcoming place...not anymore...

I simply wanted directions to a very standard local attraction, the name of which I could not…read morerecall. It was a series of waterfalls with three or six well-developed parking lots. I waited until she was done with her previous customer and asked when Mt Shasta would be open. She must be lonely because she talked my ear off. She finally stopped talking long enough got me to ask about the waterfalls. I told her that I recalled driving to the south end of town and turning east. She kept asking obfuscating questions. Finally I opened a map. Looked south then east and found them myself. Fowler's. I clarified by asking if this is the place with three well developed parking lots. She said they're not developed. From my previous visit, I know that they are paved. Then she fretted because she had given one of these cheap paper $3 maps to the last guy and didn't ask for money. Not sure I'm pairing an accurate enough picture of her but she was weird and unhelpful. The center itself is a standard visitor's center with lots of commercial pamphlets. Middle aged woman working there was very gabby. Perhaps the same woman as a two star google rating I saw. As another person noted, google and Yelp are more helpful.

I feel so incredibly blessed to have found Renee and have her as a guide, mentor, teacher and…read morefriend on my business-building journey! While she is not a typical business coach, her support has been foundational to helping me to keep going when my business-building felt like a path of doom. I am committed to express my soul-aligned mission as my business and my honest prayer for the world. This process has been vulnerable and testing me in every way I could imagine. Renee's guidance has helped me stay connected to the golden thread trust and belief in what felt impossible at times, but that in reality makes my life truly worth living. Renee is deeply wise. She is incredibly insightful and supportive in a deeply genuine way that hugely impacts my life. She's helped me navigate health challenges (wow, her intuition is powerful! She can tell what foods I am reacting to and need to eliminate), money challenges -- letting me know to keep going even when the math doesn't seem to add up, how to be an empathic person with healthy boundaries as I heal and become more sensitive, and additionally very specific business decisions that she is able to guide via deep connection to wisdom. She reflects my strengths, my challenges, relationship truths, and overall very loving and empowering guidance and encouragement. I've taken her Akashic Record classes 1 and 2 and access my own records and those of others weekly if not daily. Wow, its a powerful source of guidance. I highly recommend Renee and her incredibly body of work!!

If you're seeking clarity--whether it be on your relationships, career, self-understanding, or anything that has you feeling stuck--Renee can gently guide you back to yourself in such a way that allows you to embrace all of your nuances and move forward with clarity and strength. She has such unique gifts and shares them lovingly and generously. I've recommended her to many friends and they've loved their experiences with her as well. I can't recommend her enough!

I have not have the pleasure to meet the founder of this store since she is retired but from reading her profile on here I know she is an amazing soul teacher and healer. However, I truly have the honor to have met Wendy the current có-owner of this crystals spiritual sanctuary. We happened to park right in front of the store and as we walked back to the car to leave town, I noticed the crystal store. So I told my husband to give me 2 minutes just to check it out. 30 minutes later ... I have been working with and collecting crystals this last year, I am also a buyer and retailing them, and this crystal store is unlike any others . Each stone were radiated it own energy and you can feel how much love and energy that the owners put in them. Needless to say I found mine, but the profound moment happened was when Wendy gave it so much love and blessings to send it home with me...speechless! I had told my girlfriend I want to have a store just like this or a house that I can have all of them In it .... this place not only is an inspiration for my soul journey but also taught me so much about open heart.

Thank you for the gift of joy, love and light. I can't wait to come back in my next opportunity when I visit. With Deep gratitude! TLT

While the route…read moredescription is very straightfoward online, it has a lot of potential to be overlooked by heart. I rated 4 stars because this is definitely a passion project and you really have to be on your A-game if you book with these guides. The guides are professionals and they expect you to be just as prepared as they are -- especially on a physical level. If you can't stay on their pace due to timing, expect not to summit. I cannot emphasize this enough. DO NOT TAKE THE TRAINING EXPECTATIONS LIGHTLY. Coming from someone who did not train as vigorously as I had originally planned, I did not make it very far on my own accord. Secondly, make sure you are aware of every element of the trip. I booked for the summer and expected there to be snow. Snow = cold, but I did not brace myself for the extreme heat conditions at the base of the mountain and start of the ascent. We had a late start at around 11 AM, so you will not be starting early if that's what your expectations were. Most people I talked to in the lot started at 1:30 AM to beat the heat. Drink the required amount of water before your trip so you stay hydrated. If you feel thirsty at the start, you're already behind on hydration. While I did not summit, I have been inspired to definitely try this again when I'm more prepared. Thank you to my guides! You guys were amazing!

I have been on two expeditions with Shasta Mountain Guides, and a friend has gone on a third trip…read more None of these trips saw the summit. Now I understand that in mountaineering weather plays a deciding role in if a summit is reached or not, but it seems to me like reaching the summit is NOT a priority at ALL. I mean ZERO priority. On this second trip, I was also told by one of the guides that my "footwork" was not good enough (whatever that means), so I was forbidden to head up towards the red banks. Meanwhile, I was in lockstep with the rest of my crew, and was not complaining, for a major blister I had on my heal. After having spent $3,000+ for the guides, (not to mention all other associated costs) they served ramen noodles with frozen meatballs in a cup. (Not a plate, meaning portions were tiny). Personally, I find their guidance underwhelming, and for someone to decide whether or not I can climb is preposterous. I do not recommend this company.

I brought my 8-year-old son Brandon along for his first real fly fishing adventure, and Jack made it a day we'll both remember forever. From the moment we hit the water, Jack was patient, knowledgeable, and great with my son. The float down the river was absolutely stunning, and the fishing action was steady throughout the day. Jack knew exactly where to go, and we hooked into some beautiful rainbows... 12 strikes and 9 landed, some north of 18 inches. Jack grilled up a hot ribeye steak lunch riverside--seriously next level. It felt more like a gourmet adventure than a fishing trip at times. Spotting wildlife along the river including deer and a bald eagle as we tackled the mild rapids was awesome! I've fished this river from the banks for years, but the float trip really gets you to locations that you can't otherwise access.
