As mentioned in my previous post we decided to stay in Redding till the end of this week as the weather going north, through the Cascades, is still somewhat wintery. Here in Redding it has been very pleasant, usually getting close to 70 during the day and just below 50 at night. With this beautiful weather we ventured out to take a Sunday drive into the local mountains where we did a short hike to a small waterfall.
We then had lunch in French Gulch, which is an old mining town with a bed and breakfast and restaurant. The building is something like 150 years old.
Finally after almost 2 months out we went golfing at a local course. It had been almost 6 months since the last time either of us golfed and it definitely showed. It was a beautiful day and you cannot beat the skyline!
As it appears the weather on US 97 through the Cascades will only marginally improve we most likely will be heading north via Interstate 5. It seems it is just a little to early in the year to be exploring the mountains of Oregon. I guess we will have to come back later.
