We just started a driving trip to Oregon, the most significant trip in 2.5 years. We left July 9 in the late morning after leisurely gathering stuff and loading up. Instead of trying to drive in one day, we stopped overnight in Redding, CA. Only thing is, it was 96 degrees upon arrival. It took awhile for these old bones to cool down after getting the luggage into the room!!

Then, off to see the Sundial Bridge along the Sacramento River,

And then it was dinner at View 202 — not far up (or down) the River.
