We had a really nice 3 hour drive from Nicolaus to Redding today. We took some smaller highways (70 & 20) and some of Interstate 5. Both were fine, but I think I prefer the smaller roads. You see more of the local flavor on the smaller roads. We stopped at a Flying J Truck Stop for fuel and lightened our bank account. Diesel was $4.11 per gallon and we hold 75 gallons!! We only needed half a tank -- thank goodness!
The Redding area is known for great flyfishing and is home to a well-known fly shop - The Fly Shop - and we'll visit them tomorrow. We'll stay here for a few days before continuing north.
And now I know why we slowed down in California to enjoy the sunshine and warm temps. (No, not to save on fuel.) Today was the first day that I would call cool. We both agreed that this is not 'shorts weather' and it will not be as warm as it has been for another month or so.
