THE LONG WAY HOME

Once they turn the coach south, it's the beginning of the end of the vacation. We have a few days left, but we have to spend them driving 200 miles a day in order to meet our commitment to be in Oceano for the weekend.

We drove today for a good 4 hours uphill and downhill and downhill and uphill on the Interstate. There were several long 5% and 6 % grades and lots of big rigs sharing the road with us.

It was 108 degrees when we arrived here at Mountain Gate RV Resort, just outside of Redding, California.  We are between Mount Shasta and Shasta Lake. We've never camped here before, but it's right off the highway and convenient. It's really warm and very dry with golden hills and green trees all around us. Earlier we saw a Mama Doe and three fawns in the "playground" area just munching on the dry grass. I took a picture but it looks like a funny 4 headed animal they are all so close together on the hillside.

Tomorrow we will drive another 200 miles for another one night stand in Lodi, California.
