We headed out early this morning in the rain. The temperatures are still warm enough and we had expected to hit rain as we headed north so we aren’t really disappointed.
Win River Casino in Redding, California. Narrow spaces but all paved and pull through with full hook-up.
It was great to see how much the water has risen in Lake Shasta.
I took this picture of Shasta Lake on April 5, 2014 when the water levels were low.
Almost five years to the day and the water level is much higher! Although it was a much nicer day five years ago.
We drove through some of the area were the forest fire happened last year, it was pretty sad, and unfortunately felt all to familiar to what we see at home 😦
They are doing a lot of work cleaning up along the interstate.
An hour after we hit the road the sun came out and we enjoyed a very pretty drive for the rest of the day.
More pretty flowers.
Our plan was to spend a few nights dry camping in the parking lot at Valley River Centre Mall in Eugene, Oregon. We were told the mall allowed RVers to stay for two nights in the southwest corner, and they had no problems with slides out and jacks down. We would be parked right beside the Ruth Bascon Riverbank with hiking and biking trails and of course I would be very close to all the, tax free, shopping I wanted while hubby chilled at home in Maxx. Well that was the plan, but as of January 1, 2019 the mall no longer allows overnight parking 😦 Walmart in Eugene do not allow overnight stays either so we ended up at Armitage Park, which is a really nice county park with thirty-two sites and full hook-up for $30.00 a night. It also had the added benefit of being close to Camping World and Costco, which were two places we needed to visit in Eugene. So instead of two nights in Oregon we will only stay tonight … oh well I really didn’t need to go to the mall 😦
Until next time …
