After leaving the beautiful sunshine and warmth of Death Valley (and wearing shorts and sandals) we were shocked to step into snow when we got out of the car at our hotel. The next morning we headed north. Our Plan- cut through Nevada/ drive over the pass from Tahoe and see my Aunt Leslie and family in Auburn. Mother Nature's Plan- dump a bunch of snow on Central California/Sierra Nevadas closing roads. We diverted south and then went back to good 'ol dependable I5 and turned North.
Turned out to be the best way to end a trip to everywhere..go back to where we started ...Benicia, CA. Thank goodness for good friends who dropped everything to entertain us, visit with us and let us crash on their couches.

A stop to see old friends in Benicia.
After days of weather delays, including a hailstorm in Redding, we decided it was really time to leave. To avoid the mountains all together we hugged the coast all the way back to the Pacific Northwest. |

I don't know if the motorhome could have fit through... |

Double Rainbow all the way across the Redwood Forest. |

Wow! A really big tree! |

Voodoo Donuts in Eugene is a must. Just keep your eye on them!
