We took off from Mission Bay, San Diego, California about 10:45 A.M. in the morning. We got on Interstate 5 heading toward Eugene, Oregon, which was about four or five days by our travel speed.

We saw allot of vineyards and cranberry trees along the way. There were allot of feeder lots and the smell was pretty ripe. We blamed the dogs but they thought it was we. We made 284 miles this day of travel and will be camping at a truck stop.

The view isn't the best when you camp at a truck stop but the rent is reasonable. This truck stop there was one truck driver who said something about us camping there in his truck stop area. I just thought about how many times I've seen truckers parked over night in rest areas along the roads.

We stayed and spend the night and took off in the morning still heading north enjoying the state. We stopped at a rest area where we had lunch and took pictures of Mount Shasta. We hit the mountains, which slowed our progress to 25 miles per hour pace on the steep grades. We went past San Francisco and up the road to Phoenix, Oregon. We made for a campsite for the night and ended up staying for a couple of days.
