Here in Redding they have an annual car show called Kool April Nites. It is this weekend and we will miss the events as we are leaving on Friday and our RV park is full with people showing cars or coming to the show. But the upside is we get to see the cars as they come in and talk with the owners. Next to our site is a family taking up 3 sites with motorhomes. The father has a Shelby Cobra and his two sons have Mustang GT’s. They are all restored and in pristine condition. I could not resist getting a picture of the Cobra for any of you that are into restored classic cars.
This car weighs just over 2000 pounds and has a 427 engine in it. I commented that it could go airborne. It is not an original but rather a replica built from a kit, but you would be hard pressed to tell the difference.
Today we took our bikes on an hour ride on the Sacramento River Trail. It is a very nice trail that follows the river from the Sundial Bridge. It was amazing to see some of the homes on the cliffs way above the river. We followed up the ride with lunch at Buz’s Crab Market and Restaurant (www.buzscrab.com). This was the only restaurant in our Road Food book for Redding. Fortunately they did have chicken nuggets on the menu for Fran.
But crab is so yummy!
