We left Redding, CA at about 9:30 am and had a long drive to Crescent, Oregon (240 miles). Route % was a nice drive north of Reddind and included great vistas of Lake Shasta and the snow covered Mount Shasta, the source of water for the Sacramento River.

We stopped in Klamath Falls for a lunch of Chinese food and eventually found our RV park called Big Pines RV Park. It is a nice clean park with level, gravel pads. The only real problem is the main shower/bathroom has only one toilet and one shower.

We decided to venture to Bend, Oregon to seek out the Deschuttes Microbrewery. This brewery produces some of the finest dark beers we have tasted. Earline had one that had 11% ETOH content while I settled for an Obsidian Dark.

After dinner, we went back to the campground which was nice and cool. We watched a DVD called RV that featured Robbin Williams and seem suitable for our road trip.

The evening was VERY cold and in the morning, we needed to start the heater.
