Up and down ... up and down. One pass after another.

After a fairly good night of sleep we were up by 6am.  It wasn’t as cold out as expected so we both opted to try the showers we had heard such great reviews about.  The private washrooms are large and spotless.  Here is our lovely site.

After a leisurely breakfast we closed things up as we prepared to hit the road once again.  We decided to check the tire pressures and noticed that the trailer tires really should be topped up so we stopped at the office to finalize our bill ($35 after players club discount and Good Sam discount) and  theysent us down to their Tire Shop. 

When we arrived down the hill at the shop there was a man waiting for us and after inspection found one of the tires had a screw in it.   They offered to fix it right away while we waited and it only cost us $14. The service here is nothing but amazing!  Doesn't the trailer look strange with only one wheel?

With an hour delay we hit the road at 10:30 with lots of low fog and an outside temp. of only 34F.  We drove up and down quite a few passes with snow on the roadside which was quite pretty.

 

By the time we started the climb up the Siskyou Pass the sun was out and it was warming up a little.

 This is the California Inspection Station where they just waved us on.

We stopped at a rest area for a bite to eat just north of Weed and it was still a little cool. 

We continued on and had some beautiful views of Mount Shasta but it had very little snow on it. 

By the time we got down to Redding – the outside temp. was reading 80F.   By the time we reached Rolling Hills Casino at 3:30, the temp was down to 66F.  We fuels up and went to pick out our rv space.  This is a really nice park with Elect/Water/Sewer for only $28.  No cable but - free Wifi. 

We hooked up the trailer and I immediately connected to the internet to upload the blog entry from yesterday.  After fiddling with the TV antenna – we finally got a few channels and then it was time to get dinner ready and eat.  After cleaning up we decided to walk up and check out the Casino.  We both signed up for the Player's Card and received $20 of free play.  After playing for about an hour we came back with about $45 - bonus!  We're heading to bed early and hoping for an early uneventful start tomorrow.
