Thanks to Michel and John for seeing to my a/c. It was a bad capacitor and I escaped with a little over $214. I need to start saving for a new one since this one is 17 years. old. Michel and John went the extra mile for me and I really appreciate it.
The trip to Redding was uneventful other than making sure I found diesel fuel for the trip. After the trip to Fresno, I was running a little low.
I packed up in a little over an hour. The main trouble was a wet ground cloth for the tent (condensation, not rain) and making sure everything still fit in the cargo box and the jeep.
The drive was 5 hours and 28 minutes or so. No traffic jams.
I’m staying at Apples River House Bed & Breakfast. It’s really a beautiful house and beautiful bedroom. I haven’t met the hosts/owners yet (both were working today) but they provided me all the information I needed to get into the house.




First thing, I had a shower. Even with the body wipes, I needed one. Then a shave. Then the hosts had left me out some wine to decompress. The place is so nice, I may not want to leave here to visit Lassen Volcanic National Park.
It is scheduled to rain tonight with temperatures in the low 50’s.
