Redding

Mile 635

So we just checked into the Redding Motel 6. Not quite the mountain town I was expecting. Maybe because the elevation is 557. Guess I should have researched that better. It's hot here too! It's pretty late and we're very tired.


There wasn't much to ride up here as you can see. That's pretty much all there is to central Califonia. No, there's much more, but the idea was to get as far up north as we could before we started sightseeing. We didn't really expect to see much anyway. We've done that drive a couple times and it's mostly farm land. We had to stop three times to rest because we left so early in the morning, so the drive took longer than it should have. Sacramento seemed to be a pretty cool town.

Not sure what we will do when we get up in the morning. There are three choices and they are all in different directions. Mt. Shasta is about an hour north. Lassen Volcanic National Park is about an hour east. And Redwood National Park is three hours west on the coast. We are doing that one for sure. Maybe we'll get up early enough to do all three. We'll see I guess.
