Awake: 6:12am Temp 43 sleep 6+39 mostly sunny overnight @ Tri City, OR.
Yesterday, when making a reservation with the campground Host, Evelyn, in Redding, CA, I asked if there was anything special about finding the campground. She said: "yes, from State Hwy-273, go slowly & look for our Green Acres RV Park sign, then turn left & drive straight through the used car lot & you'll come into our oasis." Hmm, she also told me they are the cheapest in town. I wasn't sure how to take those two comments; drive through a used car lot...cheapest in town?
Anyway, we left the Tri City RV Park @ 8:45am & continued going south on I-5. Relatively smooth roads, sunshine & very little wind helped make our traveling delightful.
Getting closer to Mt. Shasta, Kathy wanted to take a picture of the beautiful 2/3 snow covered mountain, but the sun was so bright with reflections everywhere; she finally gave up. Most of that stretch wasn't comfortable for me to pull over for photo opts.
Arriving @ the Green Acres sign, we did as we were told & drove straight thru the used car lot & "what a nice surprise." Not only friendly people but also, colorful trees, green grass, asphalt & concrete parking, etc. Evelyn was right; this place is a little utopia! We were parked @ 1:10pm.
Today's travel: 231 miles 4+39 time 42 gal used 5.5 mpg 50 avg speed.
Kathy made a good lunch of tuna salad. After lunch, we signed up for (3) nights camping & then talked with the campground owners & nearby neighbors.
Dinner: was small due to a large lunch; more tuna salad over fresh spinach & bread.
Evening movie: "Victor Victoria." We watched ½.
Lights out: 12:27am.
