Yreka, CA to Santa Nella, CA

It started raining hard last night around 8 pm.  By 9 pm. we were sound asleep, drugged by the cold medication.  Sometime in the night the rain quit and when we woke up this morning the mountains around the Yreka RV Park had a nice dusting of fresh snow. 

We got ourselves ready to roll and pulled out of the RV park and were soon heading south on I-5 again.  As we got a little closer to the town of Weed those little rain drops began turning to light snow flurries.  We pulled off the interstate in Weed and parked at the local McDonald's for our favorite breakfast of English muffins and coffee.  Ate our fill of that and soon enough were back "on the road again".

As we began to drive further south, those little snow flurries turned back to rain drops again.

We had an uneventful drive (thank goodness) and chugged merrily along until we stopped for a fuel stop and lunch break at the Flying J in Corning.  We ate our sandwiches in the RV and played a few hands of Gin Rummy while Annie stood watch over the front seat area and barked at those people having the nerve to walk too close to "her" coach.

After the lunch break we got back onto the interstate.  We hadn't decided where we were going to go tonight.  Would we dry camp?  Would we go to an RV park?  Toss a coin maybe.  This time of year in California's central valley you ride along being able to view the lovely green hills.  You can see a lot of farmland along this interstate, too.

In a couple of hours Bruce decided it was time for Annie to make a pit stop.  We pulled into one of the Rest Areas.  There were some pretty wildflowers blooming here.

After gettng back on the road we decided to make a stop for the night in Santa Nella, exit 407.  The decision was made to try the Santa Nella RV Park right off the interstate.  We had stayed here on a couple of previous trips, but it was a long time ago.  We quit stopping here because the prices were getting too high and they charged you $5.00 per pet.   Before we got there I called them to check on the daily rate.  The woman quoted me $23.40 and NO charge for a pet.  OK, it was a done deal.  That rate was with our Good

Sam discount.

The park is sufficient for an overnight stay.  It sure isn't first class, but then we rarely need first class.  It works great for a stop over, especially after a long day of driving.  Here is the office/manager's home.  There is also a separate building for restrooms.  I didn't inspect them as we will not be using them.

Here is one of the rows of RV's behind ours, and here is our motorhome.  This is an older RV park and in order to fit the larger rigs you need to park at an angle.  They give you 2 spaces for this but still only charge you for one space.  It has full hook-ups with 50 amp.service.  It was a level space with room for both slides and the car to park behind us....what more do we need for tonight?   Nothing.

Tomorrow we are having another long day.  We plan to drive to the Morongo Casino north of Palm Springs for an overnighter before moving on to Ehrenburg for 2 nights.

Until next time.....so long for now!
