On to California

We reluctantly packed up this morning ready to leave Seven Feathers RV Resort -


The resort is beautifully landscaped with birch trees and rhododendron bushes.


It is one of the prettiest and nicest places we regularly stop -


It was a drizzly, foggy day as we headed south on I-5 through Oregon's beautiful mountains -


We crossed into the almost instantly drier California. About four miles into the state, you're channeled into an Inspection Station along the freeway. A uniformed officer came up to the driver's window and asked whether we had fruit or plants to declare. When we said no, we were waved on our way (good thing we'd eaten our last apples last night...).

We were quite amazed to see how far the level of Shasta Lake has dropped due to the drought -


It's a good thing these are floating docks. They used to be up there at the level of the trees!


We drove more hours today then we probably should have. Forry is really tired tonight, so we will stay at Old Orchard RV Park in Orland, California tonight and tomorrow. We drove the same distance last year, but we're a year older and Forry's still recovering from his back surgery last summer.
