Last night's drive back to Jamestown was an experience we don't need to repeat. It started raining lightly as we finished dinner, but became a fairly violent storm as we were driving. Very heavy rain, wind, thunder & lightening. Karen started the drive, and Dick took over part way back. We made it OK.
When we left this morning, it was still cloudy and storming looking, but no more rain. We headed through the California gold country back toward Sacramento to catch I-5 north toward Oregon. It turned out to be a pretty nice drive. Heading north on I-5 took us back over our route south as far as Weed. Mt Shasta was clouded in and not visible. In fact, only the bottom 2/3 of Black Butte right next to the highway was visible. We could see some of Castle Crags as we passed near Dunsmuir. At Weed we turned off I-5 onto US 97 north to Klamath Falls.
We stayed the night in Klamath Falls and ate dinner at a Sizzler next to the hotel. Hadn't been in one of them for a long time. Tomorrow it's up to Crater Lake and the falls along the Umpqua River.
