Jan 21 Fri Day 4 Light overcast, breaks in cloud, cool, cleared to sun & warm at Redding CA in the late afternoon

Sheila went for a morning hot tub & swim, I unhooked & stowed gear & we pulled out of 7 Feathers @ 11:15 @ 134882 heading to Siskiyou Pass. It is up & down countryside, we went up, over & down; Stage Road pass 1830 ft, Smith Hill pass 1793 ft, Sexton pass 1960 ft. Then a levelish run where we pulled off to a Pilot fuel depot @12:30, @ 134990, then back on hwy 12:40. Up the Siskiyou pass, the highest point on I 5 @ 4310 ft., over @ 1:20& down the other side to a lunch stop at a rest area 1:35 – 2:45. Past MT Shasta we went over Black Butte summit around 3800 ft and down past Shasta Lake. It has filled up a lot since last year, I’d say dozens of feet more water but is still not full. Arrived the Redding CA Win River Casino 5:00 @ 135243. We are parked stretching over about 8 parking spots with the car still hooked up. Up to the Casino where we got $5.00 free play for getting a players card. I played video poker for quite a while & left with $7.50, Sheila played & left with $2.50 so we evened out & got to keep their free 5.00 each. Back to the RV and Paul/Yvonne came over & we played Bridge for a while.
