We were sitting on our four feet
and one new axle was gleaming in the sun.
By 7:30, the day had begun. Soon the forklift operator grabbed the Thor Bailee by the tongue
and away she went down the street,
backing elegantly into her slot.
By 9:30 a.m., we were on our way, newly shod and ready to roll. Thank you C & G Trailer Service!
We traveled to just south of Stockton, CA to the San Luis Reservoir State Recreational Park near Nella, CA. We enjoyed a nice late afternoon and evening beside the forward bay of the reservoir.
We were up and ready to leave by 8 a.m. Route 5 was terribly rough, but we trucked on. We enjoyed a nice lunch, then moved on through the agricultural center of California. We were not always certain what crops we were observing, but the olive trees, rice, and fruit trees were obvious. At least one forest of pistachio trees were labeled so we could be certain about them. It was a fascinating trip across the valley following the aquaduct all the way.
By mid afternoon we had gotten through Redding and were turned west. Jim was tired and ready to stop. We pulled in to Whiskeytown Reservoir National Park. Camping was available. We thought we had it made. Turns out, there were no hook-ups. Oh well, we certainly have another night of dry camping without a problem. But.....the "campground" is nothing more than an asphalt parking lot!!!
Whoa.......a national park calls this a "campground"??????? Go figure! anyway, we have survived. The sun has finally dropped below the hillside and the air feels cooler already.
Tomorrow is another month......maybe things get better......cooler??????
