Wed Jan 14 Day 4 lots of fog around, more than on all previous trips down I 5

Out 7 Feathers @38533 miles @ 10:55 and arrived at the Fred Meyer and Home Town Buffet area off I 5 exit 27 at 12:20 @38606 miles.  I got a 1 year Tracphon card with 400 minutes as well for $99.00 (and no tax in Oregon).  Plus buying it at Fred Meyer gave me a bunch of points on my Fred Meyer card which I could use on gas, then over to Home Town Buffet for lunch after which I filled up with gas at the Fred Meyer station & got 20 cents a gallon off so my gas was $1.90 a US gallon. Good Deal all round.  We headed out at 1:50 to I 5 & up the Siskiyou pass to the summit at 4310 ft at 2:20 then down the 7 mile 6% grade hill entering CA at 2:25. We pulled into a rest area at 3:10 to change to Sheila driving !!!!!!   On the road at 3:15 and finally stopped to change back to me driving at just after 5.  Sheila drove for 1hr. 45 mins, she didn’t hit anything and did a great job.  We finally pulled into the Walmart near Willows CA at 38826 miles at 6:10. We went across the road to Nancy’s Airport CafĂ© for one of their great meals.  We had enough leftovers for another small meal, (mine was a senior special).  

Distance – 293 miles, on road time 5 hrs 40mins.
