Redding Ho!

Today's route was Vancouver, WA to Redding, CA.  It was cloudy, but dry the whole trip and the mountain pass roads were completely clear, too.  My first stop was in Roseburg, to grab lunch (tacos), where I meandered to a nearby park so I didn't have to eat and drive.  Here was the view where I stopped:

Figured I should snap a shot of my trusty steed, too:

I decided to pull off and check out this covered bridge, too - it was quaint, but not much else around.

My next stop was much more interesting.  As I rounded a bend, Mt. McLoughlin came into view - kind of reminds me of Mt. Fuji in Tokyo, actually.

I had to drive a bit until I could get a clear shot of it, though, and along the way I found this cute little farm

with pumpkins still in the field

and rows of spent cornstalks - kind of cool, too.

And my final stop before Redding was at the Mt. Shasta viewpoint.  The top of the mountain was fogged in, but it was still a fantastic view of all the surrounding mountains.

There was a beautiful red sunset as I pulled into Redding, but by the time I got to my hotel, it was all but gone, so no pictures of that.  :-(

I found what may have been the yummiest Thai restaurant down the road for take-out - I wanted to eat more, but forced myself to stop before I got stuffed.  Now I'm just catching up on email, checking in with family, watching TV and preparing for another day o' driving tomorrow.

BTW - I may have some really exciting news to post tomorrow, so be sure to keep checking back!
