Better Travel Day

The travel day yesterday ended much better than on Monday. We left the park in Redding at 9:15 and arrived in Eugene at about 3:15. Even though we traveled about 70 more miles, the roads weren't as winding and twisting as coming out of the foothills. Although we were on I-5 the whole day, we still had to go through mountains in both California and southern Oregon but we could still make better time than on the back roads. There were a couple shots we each took while traveling yesterday. It was difficult to get good pictures while driving, but we managed to get these. The first is a picture of Mt Shasta as traveling north on I-5:

As you can see, it was an absolutely beautiful day. This second shot is shown because it is the view that Josie has had each of the last two days, and will be the same view again today on the trip into Lincoln City:

I felt sorry for her but she is a trooper. She hates driving through mountains and over passes, but at least there was no snow.

It was nice that the reservation was made for us and the site was ready when we arrived. It is a nice pull through site that is near the lodge. This is a very nice park that Premier RV Resorts has purchased and remodeled and greatly upgraded. We are impressed, so far, with the quality of the resorts. We even get daily newspapers delivered and morning continental breakfasts included. Both of those are gratis items that you don't usually get in RV parks.

Setup was a breeze and there were no problems this time with either the refrigerator or the cable. Even though we can't use our satellite system, we were able to get the cable connected to where we received a clear picture. I am convinced the problem Monday was a bad cable connector since I did nothing different to connect this time. We went down the road to a Pilot station and topped off the gas for today's trip and had time to walk around the campground and have a leisurely dinner.

This morning we plan to go to the lodge for their continental breakfast and then get ready to head out at about 10 AM. There are only about 115 miles to go to Lincoln City so we should arrive there in the early afternoon, around 1 PM. We're looking forward to seeing our new home for next several months...
