Day 4 Mon Jan 16-

Clear & sunny, but cool in the wind
I walked over to the Elks Lodge and paid my $12.00 for last night and we pulled out of Red Bluff @ 10:45 @ 147996 km. We pulled off the hwy at a rest area just before Sacramento for lunch from 12:55 to 2:00. We arrived at the Modesto Elks @ 3:55 @ 148327. Sheila went in to check out the Lounge while I hooked up, (they have 30 amp power and water at the site and a dump station). WiFi is available in the lounge, apparently the all metal building shields it from the RV Park – I did get a very weak signal, but not enough to connect. So I took the computer over to join her. It was a nice lounge with tables and a nice polished wood bar. Sheila’s cocktails were $3.75 for premium liquor and $2.50 each for well drinks, with the second one being free, a note on the lounge door said it is open only to Elks Members as is the RV Park. We spent a while there checking out emails etc, then ret’d to the RV. We decided to go to the Golden Corral buffet for supper as we have been to a few of them & love the food. However as of 6:30 pm it was jammed full with a large line up, so we went to a place recommended by the office girl at the Elks Lodge called Perko’s. We had a nice, cheap supper before returning to the RV for the evening. I tried the TV and got 2 digital channels crystal clear, unfortunately they were both Spanish.

Distance covered 331 km – 206 miles
Sheila drove 1 hr 55 min. (2:00 – 3:55)
