We were more than ready to depart Redding Wednesday morning. The first part of the journey was up I-5 to Weed. We were given beautiful views of Mt. Shasta along the way.
Here is a shot of Castle Crags.
We joke that when you head north that you must be going up hill. Well, today that certainly proved to be true. We thought once we turned off out of Weed on US97, that it would flatten out. We were wrong. Nothing major but it was constant up, up, up. We were really surprised at how large Klamath Lake is as we drove the eastern side of it.
We pulled in to Collier State Park and in to our site. This park is a gem that we discovered from reading other full-timers blogs. The park has full hook-ups (water, electric, sewer; a rarity) and will accommodate big rigs. The road is a bit narrow and we will have to be careful when we leave as there is a strange turn here and there but all in all, it is great. We have not stayed in a state park like this since our Aliner days (prior RV). We are overjoyed with our site, the pine smells and almost total darkness at night woo hoo. We will be here for a week and will use the park as a base for a return visit to Crater Lake, Klamath Lake and who knows what else.
One of the first things to get done after getting set up is the removal of bug splat. We had a lot.
Here is a shot of our site. Oh look, someone is already enjoying the outdoors.
Another shot of our site. Now this feels like camping. We don't normally "camp" but we are making an exception this time.
