Today was mostly driving, with a cloud-covered sky and somewhat gusty winds. I'm in Corning California tonight, which is about 15 miles south of Red Bluff (which is slightly south of Redding).  I'm staying at Heritage Park--not more than a few blocks off I-5, but very quiet anyway.  All sites are pull-throughs, and there are shade trees at both ends of each driveway.  I sent myself a picture from my cell phone, but it has not come through to my computer email yet.

Driving through southern Oregon in spring brought back a lot of memories of Easter trips down to visit Grandma and Grandpa Isakson.  I saw new lambs and calves in the fields and tree leaves just starting to open.  As I came south through northern California the leaves on the trees got bigger and bigger.  Still lots of trees in bloom too--almond and olive, I think.

It is currently (6pm) 71 degrees in Corning despite the overcast sky.  Wednesday is predicted to be cloudy and cooler, but Thursday and Friday should be sunny and 78 degrees.  I'm hoping that I will drive into that sun more quickly as I head south tomorrow.

Livy had a very good day today.  No vomiting, and only one session of announcing that it was time to stop NOW!  I was ready to stop for lunch so our schedules agreed.  

We both took a walk around and I ate lunch while talking to a couple who live on Vancouver Island and are traveling with a 5th-wheel.  This is their first RV trip, so they were surprised at their truck's complaints coming over the Siskiyou Summit.

I have a reservation in King City tomorrow night. I'm hoping for sun!  I'll get an early start tomorrow.  Talk to you all tomorrow.
