Next stop Redding CA

Wednesday I opted to stay at the fifth wheel while Joe climbed/hiked Lassen Peak.  This starts a 8512ft.  and climbs to 10,457 ft.  After 11 miles yesterday I wasn't up for that big of a climb.  Besides it was down right cold out.  We got up about 7:30  and it was 32 degrees outside and 42 in the fifth wheel.  It never got over 55 the whole day.  Joe said it was in 40's when he started his hike and still in the 40's when he finished.  For more on this hike please read Joe's trip log.  I will share some pictures with you!

I just enjoyed my day, did a lot of reading and went for a walk.  This area is really a great place to camp and just sit back and enjoy yourself.

When we got up Thursday morning the batteries for the trailer were dead again, and it was 32 degrees again, so we decided to pack it up and head to Redding a day early.  Joe called a head to make sure our spot would be open and luckily it was.  So we drove the 50 miles back to town and warmth.

Today we lounged around most of the morning then went to run some errands and had a great steak lunch.  Then ended going to see the new X-Men movie.  We both really like the movie and would recommend it.
Tonight Joe is checking out the night life and I am catching up on my blog.
Tomorrow it is off to the races in Anderson, about 6 miles down the road.  It will be different to see the sprints run on asphalt.
