Last night was a rough one. It was so hot that we had all three air conditioners running and my humans were discussing the problem for a while before anyone could get to sleep. The coolest place in the coach was the floor tile under the bed. Unfortunately, no one would join me down there. Part of the problem was electrical. Jim was concerned about the power coming into the coach and the amount of power necessary to run all three airs. Eventually, after midnight they turned on two air conditioners and went to sleep.
Today the four humans went into Redding to check out the Turtle Bay Exploration Park. There is an indoor Museum and a huge outdoor park built along the Sacramento River. There’s a beautiful bridge over the river that’s known as the Sundial Bridge. It was built in 2004 and is the highlight of the Sacramento River Trail. The bridge is a working sundial as the shadow traces an arc on the river from 11am to 3pm.
After a delicious lunch at the Bridge Bistro, it was time to check out the Museum. There were exhibitions about building the Shasta Dam and the design and construction of the Sundial Bridge. There was a mini Shasta Cavern to walk through complete with some bats on the ceiling.
The Kathie’s went to the parrot exhibit and let the birds eat nectar while the birds landed all over them. Kathy T enjoyed feeding them, but my Kathe not so much. After the parrots they went into a butterfly exhibit where there were so many butterflies it was hard to walk around without stepping on one.
