Leaving the valley at, we wandered along the river, eventually arriving at Redding CA, and I-5.
Joining the flow of Freightliners, Peterbuilts, and other 18 wheelers, we headed north, passing through such scenic towns of Dunsmuir. We ate deli sandwiches made in a wonderful market in Mount Shasta City, and then ventured to a point where the view was spectacular.
After our meal we wandered down historic highway 99, to where it merges with I-5 and proceeded to Weed and Yreka, deep in what at one point may have been, and yet may be, the State of Jefferson. Before WWII people in southern oregon and northern California were going to form a new state, named after the 3rd Predident of the US, Thomas Jefferson.
Pushing on, we crossed the border to Oregon, the dog sleeping soundly in the back seat. Buzzed thru Ashland and Medford, home of Harry & David/Perkins Roses, aka Bear Creek Corp.
Arriving at Grants Pass, we checked in to our room, went shopping for essentials (beer, chips, popcorn) and then went to eat..at Wild River Brewing and Pizza, which actually has very good beers, and a menu that is very extensive, and reasonable.
And now, bellys full and minds blurred , we retire to our temporary quarters for the night.
On the agenda tomorrow: Oregon coast!
