While staying at Heritage RV Park, we took an hour drive toLassen Volcanic National Park.
We’ve been to this park before, but wanted to visit again, even though the park is closed at present, other than the visitor centers at a couple of entrances. If nothing else, it was an enjoyable drive.
For example, here’s a viewpoint on the way to Lassen:

After going out of the park, we headed northwards, through a tiny town named Manton, which made me think of the creator of the Micro.blog service, Manton Reece:
