Cross Country Trip – Day 23

11 April 2018

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.

After 34 years in the classroom and lab teaching biology, I'm ready to get back to traveling and camping and hiking. It's been too long of a break. I miss the outdoors and you can follow my wanderings on this blog.
