Awake: 6:27am    Temp 51    sleep 5+43     sunny    overnight @ Redding, CA.

After coffee & a small breakfast, I climbed the ladder; brushed the fallen leaves off the (4) slides & one-by-one, Kathy retracted the slides.

We left the Green Acres RV Park @ 8:32am, taking State Hwy-273 to I-5 to Sacramento & the Cal Expo RV Park, arriving @ 11:42am.

Today's travel: 170 miles    3+20 time    24 gal used    7.0 mpg    51 mph avg speed.

This Cal Expo facility is huge & big rig friendly. After parking & before lunch, I dug out some butternuts & cracked & ate about a dozen. Then we had a small lunch.

About 2:00pm, we motored to the University town of Davis & paid a visit to my high school classmate, Mary Ann, & her husband, Randy. They were both in PA the summer of '08 visiting family & friends, & today, though Randy had surgery last week, they both look well.

Soon after we arrived, Mary Ann brought out a plate of cheese & crackers. We gabbed & updated each for a few hrs & then dinner: spinach/pear salad, baked pork loin, wild/white rice casserole, & fresh green beans; freshly baked pumpkin pie for dessert.

After dinner, more talk including possible plans for another PA visit for Mary Ann & Randy next yr.

We thanked them for a really good dinner & fun visit, & then drove the (18) miles back to our motorhome.

We watched some late international news from abroad.

Lights out: 12:07am.
