Coos Bay, Oregon to Susanville, CA

 

We were up really early this morning so we could enjoy breakfast and a ladt visit before we hit the road.

Hugs and a selfie as we headed out at 7:30 am..  we had a great visit!

Heading south on 42 towards Roseberg and I 5.

Beautiful fall colour everywhere.

Up ahead Grant's Pass.  In January of 2008 we did a fly by the seat of your pants trip to Mexico in the truck and we rolled into Grant's Pass in the dark and got a room!

Eric just loves the logs on the trucks.  Straight beautiful wood.  He has a band saw mill at home and buildings full of lumber.

Huge and heavy.

Down below fog and smoke.

Fuel at the Ashland 76.

Looks burned but it's fall color.

All so different than home and very pretty too.

I do believe that's Mount Shasta under cloud.

Up ahead Weed where we planned to stop at a rest stop for lunch but it was too windy and dusty so we carried on.

Here we leave I 5 and get onto 89 towards Reno.

Just after we got off I 5 there was a pull off for lunch.

Lunch stop.

Straight as an arrow.

The Ranger station and no...I didn't see Yogi and Booboo😁

Shasta Trinity National forest.

Up ahead Hat Creek.

Now we're into ranching country.

63 miles to Susanville and our stop for tonight.

This whole area has been burned off by a forest fire.

Back into forest.

Now we're on 36 and coming into Susanville.

Look at that little roadster!

Susanville and the Super 8 but first...fuel.

For California not a really terrible price but about $8 for 4 liters in Canada so...expensive.

We arrived at the Super 8 around 3:30.  Last year when we were here there was a a junior high school baseball team staying...not tonight...nice and quiet.  Home made frozen lasagna for dinner and Connie's snickerdoodle cookies for dessert.  

Tomorrow Ridgecrest, Ca.
