Trees!! Mountains!!

As we traveled up I-5 to Eugene today we saw trees and snow covered mountains--sights we haven't seen for many months.  It felt like the first time I left Southern California to my new home in Seattle.  Never having been north of Bakersfield (at age 23) I found there were trees, "growing on the side of the road, and nobody planted them!"

Durango RV Resort Red Bluff, CA

We have made it to Red Bluff, CA, staying at the Durango RV Resort on the Sacramento River.  Tomorrow we continue north to Eugene, OR (our longest driving day 360 miles).  On Friday morning we have an appointment at the Cummins repair facility only a couple miles from the RV park we will be staying in, then Saturday move on up to Castle Rock. 

HEADING HOME

In a couple days will be leaving Las Vegas heading back to Seattle for the summer with a detour south to Cathedral City, CA (where it is even warmer)  to visit my dad before actually heading north.  We plan to be back in Seattle about June 1st.

Before leaving town we took Paul to the show at Excaliber where we had taken him once before several years ago.  It was an early birthday present since we will not be back for the real thing.  Sunday Arlyene and I went to the Ballagio Gallery of Fine Art expecting to see a Rembrandt and a Monet.  Apparently we misread the material.  Saw some nice paintings but not by anyone I had ever heard of.  While there however we enjoyed the display at the Conservatory so I have posted some pictures.  I wish I could post the fragrance too, it was awesome.
