My Mom is a native Oregonian, born in Medford, raised in Trail (and Tule Lake Internment Camp in her early years), so I spent alot of time visiting family and friends of family in the Trail and Shady Cove area in my youth.I'm an Oregonian born and raised. I fully agree, Rainer, Adams, St Helens,( and she was a very pretty cone before) Hood, none compare to Shasta. Especially from the lake.
One of the places that I have a fond memory of, is Crater Lake. I cannot begin to imagine the size of Mount Mazama, let alone the violence of it's eruption.
Years ago, I read that a large ignious boulder was found north of Sacramento, which was identified with Mazama's composition and deposited by way of it's catastrophic eruption. They estimated that it's eruption would have registered 10.1 on the Richter Scale!
