June 12, Sunday - Redding, CA
We left home today heading to Port Susan. We’re taking the scenic  route up Interstate 5 to Redding for a night and then on to the US 97 turnoff.

We left Concord about 10:30 and arrived at the Redding Elks about 2:30. There were only five spaces left and the host advised the sites on the south side got afternoon shade so we parked in south side, space 8, because it was really hot, around 97 degrees, and we were getting warm in the motorhome, even with the air conditioning running. I hopped out and connected the electricity to keep it running and we went up to the bar to pay our 25 dollars for the night. Since it was cool inside the lodge we had a bloody Mary and then a second one as the bar tender said we received a free drink on our first night, yea! We stalled until we thought the shade should be shading our motorhome but when we returned the shade was nowhere close. It extremely warm inside and we suffered until bed time and we finally fell asleep. The shade never made it to the south row of motorhome. He seemed like such a friendly, kindly old man.

June 13, Monday - Collier Memorial State Park, Oregon
This morning we were up early. I went out and washed the windshield. The temperature is already 75 degrees at 9 am and hot in the sun. We got off about 10:30. We stopped in Klamath Falls  with the fuel gauge on half full  and filled up in the RV lanes at the Pilot Truck Stop north of town.

Although information on the Collier Memorial State Park reservation stated check in was 4 pm and after, we arrive around 3 pm and had no problem. Site B24 was a pull through, turn out, and turned out to be prefect.   Because of the trees we couldn’t connect with the satellite and we’re too remote to receive any TV signals……..so we’re going cold turkey.
