May 28-29 , Bakersfield to Red Bluff to Canyonville.


We got an early start for our long drive to Red Bluff.
Left just after 7, made sandwiches so we wouldn’t have to stop for lunch.
Fairly uneventful though long drive, not too much traffic until the freeway through Sacramento which was a little tense.
With a couple of stops for gas and pee breaks we got to the Durango RV Resort about 4 pm.
It’s a very nice park, we stayed here once before.
The place is full because of Memorial Day weekend, good thing we had a reservation.
Temperature is 30°.
We saw a pizza place across the street on the way in and found they give a discount for people staying at the RV park and they deliver so that was dinner.
Great pizza, loaded with toppings.
May 29,
We slept in a bit and got underway to Canyonville about 8:30.
Stopped at Safeway in Redding for a few things and gas.
Nice because a Safeway card gets a discount at their gas station.
Gas in California is the most expensive we have come across, usually over $3 a gallon.
Utah and Arizona were around $2.45.
We stopped at a rest stop near Weed for our lunch of leftover pizza.
Got coffee and  gas again in Medford, Oregon , $2.57, better than CA.
Approaching Grant’s Pass an overhead sign warned of a crash ahead and delays.
Traffic quickly slowed to a crawl but at least kept moving at 1 or 2 mph.
After about 30 minutes things sped up and by 3 we arrived at the Seven Feathers RV Resort.
This is one of our favorites,  we have stayed here  4 or 5 times.
Nicely kept , great showers, each shower is its own little individual  bathroom.
There is a casino across the highway and a free shuttle will pick you up at your site with a phone call and bring you back.
We got set up , put out our chairs and had a drink.
The Wi-Fi at our site is terrible but I hooked up my trusty cantenna Wi-Fi booster and we were in business! 
There was a short sprinkle of rain and some thunder but it has stopped now.
