Yesterday I drove the motorhome 168 miles from Rogue River, Oregon over the Siskiyou Mountains to Redding, California. The entire drive was on Interstate Highway 5 which meant lots of 18 wheelers.
Because of an early winter-type storm in the area, we saw lots of unusual and pretty cloud formations along the way…
As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…
Mount Shasta was more cloud-covered than Mary or myself had ever seen it in the many times we have driven by…
Lake Shasta remains really low in comparison to past years…
We parked behind what WAS Moose Lodge 1006…
And the usual dinette window photo…
I say WAS…because they are closed. I found several volunteer members cleaning out the building which was recently sold to avoid bankruptcy. It’s a situation we see all to frequently as we travel these United States. Many fraternal organizations (American Legion, Eagles, Elks, Moose and VFW) seem to be fighting the same battle…insufficient membership activity to meet the financial obligations to run the club. This club told us they will be downsizing to a smaller building rather than closing their doors like many others have been forced to do. This club has been in existence 102 years and in this building since the early 1950’s. They also told us their new site will have RV parking.
It’s truly a sad statement about today’s United States involvement in organizations that do so much good for so many people.
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE PHOTOS.

Enjoying nice weather is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

Enjoying 65-75 degree temperatures with low humidity most of the year is a primary joy in the RVing lifestyle!
