Wed. Apr. 10 Day 90    Sunny, clear & warm

Sheila headed out to the clinic this morning, I stayed with the RV.  I went up to the lodge to get on WiFi to check emails etc then back to the RV for lunch.  Sheila returned from her Dr. visit about 2 PM.  It was a L-O-N-G wait at both the clinic and the pharmacy.  The doctor, a young woman, (who looked barely old enough to have graduated high school), said she has Bronchitis too but as it begins as a viral infection, (not responsive to antibiotics) we’re assuming the antibiotics she prescribed for her are to prevent further complications.  Sheila’s not complaining as she just wants to feel healthy again & soon!  Sheila wanted to go on to 7 Feathers Casino, so we hooked up & pulled out of the Red Bluff Elks RV Park at 2:20 PM @ 158459km.  I had to stop in Weed CA for some gas to make it over the Siskiyou Pass. Into a Pilot stn in Weed @ 4:10 & out @ 4:25.  I only put in 15 gallons, just enough to ensure I get over the pass & into the next gas stop.  As we approached the pass the clouds got thicker & it started to rain lightly.  We passed the CA/OR border at 5:15 PM.  As we rolled down hill into Oregan, the rain stopped and the sun came out.  We stopped at a Pilot gas stn @ 5:50 PM @ 158749km, & were out again by 6 PM.  We arrived at 7 Feathers Casino RV Park @ 7:10PM @ 158858.  After we got parked & hooked up, we took the shuttle down to the casino for a $10.99 Buffet supper.  The buffet area here is quite small as buffets go, and because the booths are attractively arranged along the side of the room, with coloured subdued lighting it seems more like a fancy restaurant than a buffet.  Food was good; there was sufficient variety, though it’s not the bargain that the Hibachi Grill & Buffet in Hemet is.  We returned to the RV Park for a session in the hot tub and a nice shower.  We made it back to the RV just before 10 PM for my CSI show, & then route planning work before bed. 

Distance covered – 399km – 248mi
