HEADING NORTH

 We spent the night in Pasadena at the Pasadena Rose & Crown hotel.

We got up and left early and headed north out of town, going home.

We drove almost non-stop on Hwy 99 to just south of Sacramento for a much needed walk in The Consumnes River Preserve.

There have been some very nice improvements since last we've been here.  The trails are well marked, some are paved but most are just natural.  There are hundreds and hundreds of birds to see and hear.  It was so relaxing and enjoyable.  It's another of our favorite places.

The next stop was in West Sacramento.  Darrell wanted to stop in and meet his Felder dealer, Fergus.  They've talked on the phone for years, but never met in person.  

While they were talking and looking at the machinery, I sketched.

This is a semi-blind contour drawing with a bit of watercolor added (and a photo added later).

We left Fergus and headed north on I-5 to Redding, where we spent the night.  We bought some dinner at Sprouts Grocery.
