Tues. January 1st~~~~~~~~ We said our goodbyes to the kids last night and today we are headed To the "Seven Feathers" Casino. It is a beautiful R.V. Park They had a shuttle that took you to the casino and back. We only stayed here one night as Kent is anxious to cross the Siskiyou Mountains and get where it is warmer.
Wednesday January 2nd~~~~~ We were so lucky, there was absolutely no snow in the pass or on the road. We stopped in Red Bluff for the night. We almost bought an artificial Christmas tree for next Christmas at the Target store in Medford, Oregon. We decided shipping it home would be a pain in the neck, so we passed on the 75% off sale. Maybe one of the kids will pick one up for us back home. They really missed us not having a tree for 2 years and we thing a fake tree will be just what we need for now.
January 3rd through the 6th~~~~ We were on the road early this morning driving in heavy rain. Our plan was to stop in Sacramento and see Sharon's cousin Bertie who lives there. We called to see if she was home, she warned us of a big storm with high winds that was going to hit there that afternoon. She recommended we keep heading South where the weather would be better. We drove to Petaluma 30 miles north of San Francisco, we just got parked when the storm really hit. The storm was actually worse further south. The wind was strong and some of the gusts shook the trailer. Sharon was uncomfortable with so much wind but we were OK and we didn't lose power like they did further south in San Francisco.There they had thousands of homes without power for a week. They got 2 1/2 inches of rain in a short time, We like the gentle rain we get in Oregon much better. The "good" part is we missed the snow storm in the Siskiyou pass . They got 10 feet of snow and we missed it by a matter of hours. They require you to chain up to go through (chains!! huh??) we don't have such a thing.
