Thursday 27th
We feel the approaching cold weather, the thermometer got down to 26 deg. and today we must move on. We want to move North into Oregon, so that we can skirt the coastal mountains by going through Grant’s Pass, this will take us to the coast, once there we will be safe from the approaching winter and we can make our way down the coast back to San Francisco.
So we packed up our trailer and with sadness left Steve and Mary. A bit like Bilbo leaving Rivendell, we were now leaving behind the last bit of California, beyond them lay the unkown’s of Oregon.
We travelled North on 97, stopping once to look back at Mt Shasta for the last time, then on across the border to Klamuth Falls, where we stopped to lay in supplies at a Walmart. The further on to the Collier State Park campground.
We found this to be a very agreeable campground, with full hookup, this enabled us to dump our black waste, which has been building since we left Red Bluff ten days ago. At $17 per night this is a definite improvement on California (Burney Falls would have been $30 per night for dry camping, but for Sally’s Access Pass). With approaching winter the campground is almost empty and we could take time to pick our spot.
