The morning started out with a nice crisp walk down Main Street before we had a lovely breakfast and said goodbye to the Old World Inn and Napa. Then driving ... lots of driving.
I-5 is totally beautiful, nothing for miles and miles. Gorgeous but pretty uneventful. That is until we wanted to stop for lunch. We pulled off at Redding and found a Rodeo stadium but no restaurant. Back on the road for a bit until we came upon the Old Mill Eatery in Shasta Lakes. A taco salad and burger did us good. Delicious!!!
Everything was fine until we paid and struck up a conversation with the waitress. She proceeded to tell us that I-5 was hit with torrential snowstorms this morning and we'd need to put chains on our car. Side note for those New Yorkers like Maura who had no idea what this crazy woman was talking about - Chains are literally wires that are wrapped around the tire to give more traction. Jesse proceeded to freak out. Maura, unaware that this woman was serious, completely ignored her warnings and said lets go. We stopped at the auto store, picked up chains and journeyed on. This is the torrential weather we came across on I-5:
Horrendous, I know.
After trekking through the gorgeous countryside we got to our new home for the night, Running Y Ranch. We worked out for almost an hour and now we're tired and going to bed. More tomorrow, too tired to fill in ALL of the details. Night all!
