It would have been better had the weather been nicer. We all agreed that we were a little to early. Ed and Jeri seemed to have a good time fishing, even though nothing was caught. Not for lack of trying. Everyone there was trying anything and everything they could think of. Nobody caught anything so Ed and Jeri didn't feel bad.
We left yesterday morning to begin our journey south to warmer weather. We stopped at the Seven Feathers Casino last night, played some bingo but didn't win.
I know we’ve all had them, but today was my worst travel day. We left the safety of the Seven Feathers Casino this morning, to drive further south, despite the snow that was falling when we got up. The higher we climbed, the more of that white stuff we saw. I kept my eye on the outside temperature which hovered right around 35degrees.
I was a nervous wreck and Ed was singing “White Christmas”. I told him this was April and it was supposed to be spring! We went through Sunny Valley but it was anything but sunny. Once we got passed Grants Pass it seemed to be better. No snow on that side of the mountains and the temperature started to climb up to 40 degrees. Better, but with that came some wind.
Think we are out of the worst of it now. We are now at a Walmart in Anderson, California. The wind is blowing hard now so we got off the road just in time. Tomorrow we should get to Fresno, California, although if the winds are bad we may stop earlier. Winds seem to get worse in the afternoon, so we will see how far we get.
Been a nervous wreck ... Lots! I can imagine you sitting on your throne (passenger's seat) and applying your brakes. I'd do the same. Be careful as you head out. The winds can be mean!
