On our way to Red Bluff, while still in southern Oregon, Larry and Linda's motor home developed engine trouble causing them to seriously lose power on hills - and there are lots of them in southern Oregon. We met up at a rest stop and the decision was that we would continue on to Red Bluff and they would stop in the Medford area and get the engine repaired on Monday. So as I write this that is where we are respectively. We are going to extend our stay here in Red Bluff by one more day hoping they can get their repair and back on the road Monday and catch up with us here. Then we will continue together just one day behind schedule which is not a big deal. The weather is supposed to clear and warm up starting Tuesday morning and stay that way all the rest of the trip.
For us the drive through the Siskiyous was better than usual. Because it was Saturday the truck traffic was much lighter. Much of the road construction going on there was shut down for the weekend and so there were only a few places where I-5 narrowed to one lane and since traffic was relatively light it did not cause a problem. Still, it was little over a seven hour drive and because of the forecast weather conditions I chose to drive it all myself, about 350 miles. That's about twice what we normally drive in a day.

So, here we sit in Red Bluff next to the Sacramento River hoping the Bergo's can make it here on Monday and that we can pick up the Seahawk game this morning on the park cable. Norv is performing perfectly and Brownie (our Emergency Backup Cat) is doing just fine. She is nocturnal so during the day she normally sleeps under the couch anyway. Now it is just a little bumpier under there. At night everything is good as far as she is concerned. She has decided to grace us with her presence this morning as we watch the game so she took time out her busy schedule for a pose.
