So much for the bubbling hot springs of Mt. Lassen, it seems that the road is not yet open after the winter snows. So we call Russell and tell them we are here early. No deal, we must wait until Friday. So we start looking for a campground in Redding. The Redding definition of campground seems to be RVs only. I need to get a new dictionary and see if the definition of camping has changed in the last few years. We go on to Lake Shasta to see if there are tent sites in the campground there. We go right by Russell's shop on the way to the lake. They do have tent site camping over the dam and down into the canyon but there is nothing to eat so we will have to go back into town. So we do and get a motel right next to the Harley dealer. We did not get any pictures of the lake but it was a nice short ride to the lake from Russell's and we may do it again tomorrow and get some pictures then. It is about 250 miles to my Dad's house and it is all interstate. But we have a trailer and the speed limit for trailers in California is only 55 mph. Naturally this does not seem to apply to big trucks who feel they have been granted a licence to kill because they are hauling America's goods. Is my love for trucks starting to become evident?

I hear quite a bit of anger :) Almost there and you will have a break!
