Day 4: Ashland to Salem—and then home
OK so this was almost a month ago. I am not good and finishing trip blogs. We were planning to stop and see friends in Eugene but decided it was too complicated so kept on going to Salem. Spent the night with Kit's sister Milli who we hadn't seen in a while. The next day we headed home and arrived by early afternoon. Back to routines.

3rd day: Merced to Ashland
Another too long day almost all of it on I5. FOG this morning didn't clear up until late morning and then the sun was fine. Saw no sign of snow going over the Siskyou's . The snow was quite high on Mt. Shasta which was gorgeous as always despite lack of low snow. 3 nights in 3 different brands of motels and everyone of them looks the same. Last night we had an in-house bistro (aka restaurant/bar) with amazing tomato soup. Tonight we are next door to a brewpub with too many beer choices.

2nd Day: Needles to Merced
A long day. We had a book on CD's as it was pretty boring. Kit got gas spilled on his feet at Love's in Tehachapi and we got stuck in a long traffic jam on 99 which wasn't quite the 45 minutes predicted. Otherwise pretty benign day. Stopped at a refurbished rest area which has got to be the nicest in CA and maybe in the country.

Travel Day North #1
Stressful enough this morning getting out of the house. Had to do laundry and loading and cleaning and etc—including a visit with Wanda next door. Finally on the road about 10:15. Thought it wasn't so far to Needles but ended up taking a lot longer what with the roundabout route and all the stops. Luckily we gained an extra hour.crossing into California. As it was we arrived about 4>30 Pacific time. Staying in a Best Western with trains running outside our window —quite frequently.

Heading Home Tomorrow
We've had a great time here at Far Horizons but it's time to go. It finally got warm enough for a last pool day. The pool was cool but I went in anyway. The hot tub is always nice. We are mostly packed and the car is partly loaded. Tomorrow morning we will do the laundry and final packing and loading. And take the leftover food to Dwayne and the house key to John. We don't plan on leaving much before 10 as we are only going as far as Needles and will gain an hour when we pass into CA. Decent weather forecast for tomorrow but looks like we will be heading for more cold.
