Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week's all sorts of weird for me. It's Tuesday!

Shasta, Crater Lake, Lassen National Park, etc. It was a ton of fun, and a lot of driving! Anyway, it all kinda blurs together and felt like just one weekend, and today feels like Monday. I only just realized it was Tuesday! And you know what that means? It's time for our weekly dive into the…
