Sacred Mountain called Shasta

  
Headwaters of the Sacramento River

  


Preparing the willows for building the sweat lodge frame. Soaking them in the river over night makes them easier to bend.

Rocks and wood for sweat lodge fire

All gear, willows, wood, rocks, and blankets & tarps were carried over a quarter mile to the sweat site. There was enough wood to keep the fire burning 24/7 from Tuesday night to Saturday morning. On Saturday everything remaining was carried back out and the site was restored to its natural condition.


Packed up & ready to return to sweat lodge on the last morning
