We stayed 2 nights in Albany since it took all day for my brother-in-law to save my files and then reinstall the operating system and do all the updates. I am so glad he was able to retrieve all of my data, most of which was backed up except for the most recent documents. Hopefully it will continue to play nice since doing a blog on my smart phone is not my idea of fun!
It was nice to have that extra day to rest up after all the preparations and not just push on with the travel. That's one thing we learned last year, that we don't have to be in a hurry and having lots of travel breaks makes it less exhausting.

We are currently parked at Rolling Hills Casino south of Redding, CA by about 40 miles. We parked last night at the Rest Stop in Canyonville, although we could have parked at the casino there, too. We did stock up on propane and gas. It rained like crazy on and off all night, and we were glad to see it had tapered off by this morning. Yesterday driving from Albany to Eugene and parts south was very windy and there were some white-knuckle moments. I was glad to not be driving that stretch. Instead I got the fun of driving through Portland at 5pm on Tuesday. I know, not the greatest timing, but we got through. Portland is still not as bad as Seattle!

We didn't get any great shots of Mt. Shasta since there was a large cloud hat sitting on top, but we tried.
Once again, in one day we traveled over the Siskiyous, saw snow on the sides of the road, and arrived here ready to trade sweatshirts for tank tops!
