Tuesday night (Oct 18th) we got together with cousin Jared, his wife Dawn and their two girls, Kaylee and Sydney. We had a wonderful dinner and visit in Roseville.

We sure enjoyed our stay with Lisa. The colours are so pretty around her house... and seriously, it's like staying near a zoo.... between the cats and the peacock... then the llama and sheep next door!!

We pulled out Wednesday morning (Oct 10th) and headed north. The weather had turned to rain, which is much needed around these parts! but made for kind of nasty driving on the I-5. The autumn colours continue to be gorgeous. (Who knew we would still be hitting the peak of colours 2 months after the first great colours we saw.) We made it as far as the Redding area - Bear Mountain to be exact, and got set up before dark. It was still raining but the cats had a good walk nevertheless. Shasta Lake is the lowest it has been in 8 years; Bear Mountain resort is normally 3 miles away from the lake, but 4 this year!

We pulled out of Bear Mountain and headed north towards Oregon. It was absolutely pouring rain, and foggy. We just about hit a deer near Dunsmuir, CA. Scary couple of minutes, but no one got hurt!

I love the "truck village" near Weed, California
with multi coloured semis all lined up... |
We got into Grant's Pass, Oregon about 3 pm. We have stayed in this park before - with Seeber, but Tawny and Sam have never been here. It's really lovely - right on a bend of the Rogue River... Sam was mesmerized by the water.
