Mom, Reba, Lucy and I left Redding heading north on I-5. We got a great morning look at Mount Shasta, with rings of clouds around the top.

The plan was to stop and visit with a friend of Mom's in Medford, Oregon, but it turns out she was unavailable that day, but Mom had a nice chat with her on the phone.
We pulled into Ashville, a cute little town. We noticed the Ashville Springs Hotel, a historical site, so we stopped there for a bit.

Back on the road, heading north, we stopped for a picnic lunch at Valley of the Rogue State Park. It was such a beautiful day. This area in southern Oregon puts on such a spectacular display of autumn colors. We were here on the perfect day.

I finally found a nice cache where I could drop my Travel Bug, Mona Lisa on the Road. I'd wanted to drop it somewhere in southern California, but we never found a cache that was big enough. This one would do perfectly.

| Goodbye, Mona, happy travels! |
After a nice break at the park, it was back on the road.
Looking at everything.
Reba usually rides in a container while in the car. This was her first time being able to see outside as the world whizzed by. She seemed to enjoy it.
We made it all the way to Tualatin where we spent the night.
