We have arrived at the Durango RV Resort in Red Bluff, CA.  Today was a difficult driving day but we are done with the mountains between Oregon and California and we survived a particularly windy stretch just north of Weed, CA.  The good thing about the wind storm was getting to see many tumbleweeds rolling by. 
We saw Jumpoff Joe Creek and Louse Creek today. 
A surprising sight was a commercial shooting range that advertised the chance to shoot a tommy gun.  Can you imagine? 
Everyone has to go through the agricultural checkpoint at the California border.  We were too chicken to lie about having strawberries and bananas on the bus, so we told the truth and found out that they were allowed.  YAY!  No naked cereal for breakfast tomorrow! 
One shocking sight was poor Lake Shasta.  The water level is so low from lack of a good snowpack and rain in the mountains that parts of the lake look like a small river instead of a glorious lake.
