Southern Oregon & Northern California, 24 June 2011

Today was mostly a long drive from Medford, Oregon to Sacramento, California. The only stops were for lunch at a rest area near Shasta Lake, and for gas. The day was clear and brightly sunny all the way. The mountains in southern Oregon and into northern California were beautiful. The highlight of that were the views of Mt Shasta.

It was quite warm (lower 90's) in Sacramento as we checked in to our hotel. Dick took a walk around the neighborhood before dinner just to explore. Our hotel is a block from the old California Governor's Mansion in a mostly business area, with a number of old houses, all in pretty good shape.

The opening reception of the reunion was a fun evening. Heavy appetizers, enough to make it supper. And plenty of good California wine to wash it down. And, of course, lots of good conversation with "old" friends and classmates. It was a truly fun evening!
