We are in Redding California listening to the pitter patter of raindrops on the roof of the motor home. We rolled out of Coburg right on schedule at 9:00 a.m. I decided to fuel up before we got on I-5, so it was almost 9:30 before we got going. Since you can't pump your own fuel in Oregon, and there was only 1 attendant at a busy station, it took almost a half hour!
It was windy but dry for the first 2-3 hours, then in the Siskyou's by Mt. Shasta it started to rain. Seems as if we were right in the clouds going up and over several mountain passes. On the bright side there was only a little snow on the side of the road. The coldest temperature was 38 degrees at the ski area. We got here a little after 4:00 p,m, Tomorrow evening we will be somewhere in the Bay Area.
The long range weather forecast for Apache Junction calls for temperatures in the mid to upper 70's!! That's warm enough for Joyce, and not too hot for me. And since one of us forgot to bring a rain jacket, Joyce can't get out for a walk.
Stand by for more from near "the city by the bay.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Ernie

Welcome to Redding. Hope you enjoy your stay. Too bad you don't have time to see more of the area.
Sounds like things are going pretty smooth. Thank goodness its rain and not snow or sleet thats falling.
You can't pump your own gas in Oregon? I can't remember the last time an attendant pumped my gas. I'm not sure we have any stations that still do that. That would be considered a "service" and I don't think people know what that word means anymore.
Hope you come across some "Kodak Moments" today....Diane
