DAY 12 Monday, April 23rd: Not much to report... we had a pleasant drive and kept going till it felt like time to stop. Spent the night in a place called Kettleman City... not much more than a truck stop, but the hotel was clean and we were tired. Up early and moved on.
DAY 13 Tuesday, April 24th: Had a very nice drive today with great scenery... rolling green hills, farms and ranches. Even saw some cowboys on horseback, with herding dogs, moseying along after some cattle along the fence. Made it as far as Red Bluff (just north of Sacramento) today and have stopped at a very nice Comfort Inn (complete with pool, sauna, hot breakfast... and we have a suite - one of the nicest rooms we've ever stayed in - with a balcony.... and we used a coupon so got the suite for $69/night. Not bad hey. Off for Chinese food tonight... after a swim of course :-)
That's all for now... We're heading for Grant's Pass tomorrow. It'll be a shorter drive but should be quite nice (depending on how hard it rains on us :-(
We hope to be in Richmond by the afternoon of the 28th, have a short visit with Dad and then get back to the Island on Monday the 30th. We'll be back to see Dad for a better visit, after we've delivered the van and in time for his birthday (May 9th) and a few days thereafter. That's it for now. Happy Birthday Penny, and Dwight, and Joanne.... and Happy Anniversary P&J. ttfn CJ
