Redding Refuge

Another day, another couple of hundred miles.  We had a good trip up I-5 with some rain and some wind, but nothing torrential--that waited until we arrived in Redding.  We are parked at Mountain Gate RV Park, just north of Redding.  We arrived in early afternoon and set up just before the next wave of rain and wind arrived.

See That Green Band Over Redding?  That's Where We Are

We were planning on staying here just one night, but there is a winter storm watch on the Siskiyou Pass that will probably keep us here an extra day.  There are chain requirements for both the truck and trailer in place right now, so we will probably wait until Sunday to make the trip over the pass.  There have been waves of Pacific storms that have been rolling in from the Pacific, and in the interest of safety, we need to wait until the pass is clear for large RV trailers.

There are a large number of RV's here in the park who are also waiting for the pass to clear before they head north, so we are among the RV refugees.

This is What We are Trying to Avoid on the Siskiyou Pass

Once we clear the pass, we will make the best time we can to Molalla, Oregon but will take as much time as we need to make a safe crossing of the pass
