Sun with some cloud all day, cold at night.
The 9AM Traffic cams show clear black road at Siskiyou summit, although lots of snow on the side of the road.
Sheila went for a quick swim before we left, so we didn’t leave campground till 11:05 @ 147597 km. We stopped at 12:25 in Medford OR for lunch at the Home Town Buffet and I put in just a little bit gas at Fred Meyer, (so as not to have a full tank going over the summit.) We pulled out at 1:35 and got to the Siskiyou summit of 4310 feet (1313 metres), at 2 PM. Down the other side & into a Pilot gas stn in Weed CA for expensive CA gas ($3.59 a gal VS $3.29 in OR.) In at 3:00 & out at 3:25, Sheila drove the rest of the way past Lake Shasta, (which is still low but higher than a few years ago), and into Red Bluff and to the Elk Lodge RV Park by 5:05. They have 30 amp power & water and a nice level spot. We walked over to the lodge but it’s closed, so we’ll go over tomorrow to pay them the night’s fee - $12.00. We spent the evening watching some TV; we picked up several digital stations out of Redding, all of which came in crystal clear except for the occasional brief glitch in transmission.
Distance covered – 404 km – 251 miles
Sheila drove today for 1 hr. 45 min. (3:20 – 5:05 pm)
