Day 16 Northern CA to Oregon Mountains

After leaving the Elks Club, we found the Walmart where I'd called in one of my pills several days earlier. On our way back up into the mountains,


the rainbow was hard to catch.


We could see Shasta Lake many times from the road. We were amazed at the low levels of the lake. It was down 30-40', I'm sure. As the mountains got higher, the tops were all snow covered.


As we went up into the mountains and went over the 4000' level, here you see the almost blinding snowstorm the rain had turned into. It was so much, it was staying on the branches of the trees. Up in this area was the first time we'd ever see a bear crossing sign. No, didn't see any.


On the other side of the mountains, down we went again into another valley in Oregon. Now we sighted our first forsythia in blossom, and also other pink and yellow shrubs. Spring must be here. Go away snow! See the white patches on the mountains? Those are clear cut areas where they've cut all the trees in one section and the snow is visible because of it. We saw this all over Oregon. Only occasionally could we see where they had replanted.



Took us awhile to find the On The River Golf and RV Resort in Myrtle Creek, OR. Sounded good in the AAA campbook, but directions and signage were not. The next morning, by the light of day, Rick agreed, it really was a nice place.


Some of the friendly wildlife who came up to us begging for a treat!
