Getting Started


I began this road trip after church on July 15. The camper was properly packed and
Jody sat in the shotgun seat.

It was incredibly hot going north on I-5 through the central valley -- 115 degrees.
In the distance I saw an odd cloud formation.

My weather app showed a storm center and temperatures
42 degrees cooler. And this was just 40 miles ahead!

I raced north to Shasta City, but only got a few rain drops on my wind shield. It was still hot.

I arrived at Tree of Heaven Campground east of Yreka just before dark.

I got to Frank's house on Monday evening.
Here it is, waiting for the landscaping


On Tuesday evening we four siblings met at Eileen's house.

 

I spent Tuesday night with Eileen, Wednesday afternoon with Jim and Char,
then headed to Vancouver to rondesvous with Frank.

Move on to Glacier National Park
