Description
Photograph at the mill in Weed, California, Mt. Shasta in the background.
Weed is a historic lumber town named after it's founder, the owner of the local lumber mill Abner Weed. Abner discovered that the areas strong winds were helpful in drying lumber. In 1897 Abner bought the Siskiyou Lumber and Mercantile Mill a 280 acres "what is now known as Weed" for $400. By the 1940's Weed boasted the worlds largest sawmill.
Mount Shasta is a potentially active volcano located at the southern end of the Cascade Range in Siskiyou County, California. At an elevation of 14,179 feet, it is the second highest peak in the Cascades and the fifth highest in California. Mount Shasta has an estimated volume of 85 cubic miles, which makes it the most voluminous stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc.
