The first night on this road trip we stopped about 22 miles north of the Oregon border. The park we located was manicured and beautifully kept up and located nest to a river. I did wonder what might happen in the spring if this particular river flooded as the park was only about ten feet higher than the water.
On the road early the next morning and soon we were in Portland rush hour traffic but although slow going, never seemed to stop. Soon we left this lovely city behind and headed south on I 5. This seems to be great farming country and we were still enjoying a late fall set of colorful trees mixed in with evergreens. Gradually we climbed from nearly sea level to several passes in the 2000 foot range. After about 300 miles of beautiful Oregon scenery we crossed into California with Mount Shasta dominating the scenery for many miles. I was glad to see this part of the trip come to an end as the road twists and turns and climbs up and down and I was very tired by the time we decided to stop for the night just north of Redding. A delightful lady in the campground office wanted to know if our rig was really 48 feet long, just kidding of course. Happy travels.
