California, here we are! We are in Corning, 50 or so miles south of Redding.
Mount Shasta was spectacular, even at this time of year after a significant amount of winter snow has disappeared.
We thought we might stay in Redding tonight, but before we had our act together we were through it, heading for Red Bluff 29 miles away. We were very hungry - actually I was getting to be a space cadet, so we just picked an exit at Red Bluff to get off the I-5. We ended up at a restaurant right in the town called 'The Cozy Diner'.
Before we left we were asking the server about motels locally. When the woman at the next table overheard us, she piped up and said she is the manager at the Comfort Lodge in Corning, about 15 miles down the road. She said to tell them Nancy sent you and quoted us a very good rate, about $10 less than the already good rate.
In the end, she called the motel and told them to save us a room and what the rate would be. So, here we are at the Comfort Lodge in Corning, thanks to our new best friend Nancy!
It was a beautiful day to drive today. And it got warmer as we drove. It is down right hot here in Corning, so tomorrow we are in shorts!
Here is a tip. I learned about it today. Never - ever - put your sungasses in the open glove compartment of the car (especially if they already have a crack in them). That is because when you close the glove compartment door, the glasses snap and break and are rendered useless.
That's your tip for the day. We will post again tomorrow.
