Let's just say that the rest of day two of our travels did not go as we anticipated. The weather got better in California. Unfortunately Mt. Shasta's peak was covered with clouds. We did enjoy seeing Lake Shasta and were reminded of our wonderful houseboat trip with the Eides. Looking forward to doing that again some day!
A major goal for this day was a stop at In & Out Burger in Redding. Let's just say that seeing it and getting to it successfully are two different things...even with technology! ha ha We did get there and enjoyed every last bite. While driving we had made a list of everything we had forgotten, so we also made a stop to shop. Oh, did I mention Starbucks? This always take longer than you anticipate, so it was 7:30 pm before we left Redding.
We later made a stop for gas at huge truck stop about 11 pm. Gary was sickened by sight of all the bugs on the bbow. [big box on wheels] He spotted a huge truck wash and talked them into washing our bbow after the big semi they had in the wash bay, so we were back on the road minus the bug guts.
It seems that I am the "after 11 pm" driver of the bbow, so I got to drive while he navigated the route.
Gary has forbidden me to write about the next part of our adventure so I'll just say that sometimes even the latest and greatest technology fails us. :-) We pulled into our campsite at 3 am and collapsed....but we had made it to the edge of Yosemite.
Today we stayed right here to rest and regroup. I tore into the bbow and repacked it so I am a happy woman. There is tons of stuff for Taryn here and she enjoyed it all. Gary was her partner for most of it and he is now walking wounded with a shoulder injury and jambed/sprained finger. Taryn, however, is unscathed.
We plan to enter Yosemite by 7 am tomorrow morning. We're very excited to see it for the first time.
P.S. Gary located his calculator. Rats. I did think Ross made some great suggestions!
