After Orange Grove RV, we headed north with our bag of freshly picked oranges. We made it all the way to Redding, California where we over-nighted at Redding RV Park. This is the place where we sunk up to the axles in mud two years ago. We are sure glad we have four-wheel drive to get us out of the mud.
The following morning, we headed north once more. This time it was up and down at least a dozen times as we drove through the mountains of northern California and southern Oregon. We arrived just after dark at Pheasant RV, just south of Portalnd, Oregon. Given that it was pouring rain and had been for the previous 90 miles (150 km.), we connected the power and retreated inside for the night. No unhooking here.

| A VERY LONELY MOUNTAIN IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA |
Bright and early Saturday morning, we were one the road to Wenatchee, Washington where we stayed at the Wenatchee Confluence State Park. It is a nice place in the summer but full of goose droppings this time of year. There were only three sites occupied when we pulled in and one arrived after we were settled in. The over night low temperature was 3 degrees C (38 degrees F). We can over-night at below freezing temperatures and travel during the day at above freezing without winterizing and/or running the furnace as we drive. There is no snow on the road so we can keep going without interruptions.

Home late on Sunday, February 24, 2013. A week or two earlier than we really wanted but there were some external pressures dictating an early return.

Glad you are home safe and sound.
