On our second day of travel, we rose about 8, and were away about 10. I-5 moved very smoothly. We traversed the very mountainous Siskiyou Summit and down to the flatlands past Mount Shasta. Rained on and off all day. The Goose performed admirably, with the engine brake and gear control making downhill grades easy to restrict. Much happier with the larger Goose than last year. Still had to slow down to 40-45 mph for the steep uphill climbs, but rock solid.
We descended from the mountains, passing through Weed, which was burned last year in wild fires. some regrowth is evident and rebuilding of structures is well underway. We on the east coast do not comprehend what a factor and danger is wildfire.
Drove through the amazing Sacramento valley, recalling from last year how many fruit and nut trees are planted. Took I-505 toward Vacaville. We stayed at the Vineyard RV park last year, so we knew what to expect. Easy check-in and set up. Drove to the local Safeway for food. Quiet night.
