Road to Reno

The Weed Rest Area is just outside of Weed, California. There is a beautful view of Mt Shasta from there. This was my lunch stop and I had my Greek Salad with feta, olives, pepperoncini, cucumber, and tomatoes. I hung out for about 45 minutes, stretching my legs and enjoying my lunch.

Back on the road, I left I-5 for CA-86, heading towards Mt. Lassen NP. I had visited there years ago and had fond memories as I passed it. I stopped briefly at a campground in the Lassen NF to use the latrine and stretch my legs. I stopped again in Susanville, CA to get some gas. It was ONLY $4.99 per gallon there...

The last bit of the journey was uneventful, if not a bit boring. I passed several very beige lakes. One of them was called Honey Lake, which was about the color of it.

I was glad to see the hotel!Read more
