WOW, WE DON’T HAVE A HOME ANYMORE!


Finally, we got on the road from Gardnerville after a spending a week with my sister and her husband.  A huge THANK YOU to them for their usual hospitality.  We always feel at home when we are with them. 

Unfortunately, we started our trip with a 2-3 day rather unusual rain storm in progress.  Our route to Red Bluff (back into California L) was on Route 20 and then Highway 70 with a couple of questionable roads in between.  We told the Magellan to limit the amount of freeway and, boy, did it ever!  While part of the drive through Tahoe National Forest, following the Truckee River, was beautiful, there were parts of that route that were, well, questionable.  Let’s just say we saw lots and lots of walnut trees!

While Gary was getting ready to feed the dogs (who aren’t sure what to think about where their home is anymore) I came to the FULL realization, “I don’t have a home anymore!”  This 32’ RV is our home for the next 6 to 12 months, or however long we decide to stay on the road.  Boy, is that a different thought.  I’m not sure how long it will take before it really settles in, but in the meantime, we’re going to have some fun exploring the beauty of this nation.

Here we are at the Durango RV Resort in Red Bluff (first picture) located just a couple hundred yards from the Sacramento River .  Everything a long-term RVer needs … pull-through site, full hook-ups, laundry facilities, pool, recreation activites and more!
 
 
Once that rain, rain goes away, we’ll start exploring this beautiful area that includes Lassen Volcanic National Park and the Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area.  We are about 30 minutes from Redding so our plans also include at least one trip to Bethel Church.  May the Truth be with you!
