Yreka to Home

Waking up in Yreka, this started off as a difficult day
and then it got worse.  I was still feeling ill and
found it was raining pretty good.
43.6 / 26,733 / 8:20

Started right off with a wet butt.

Not going to be too many photos today;
the weather is not all that conducive .


Lakehead Rest Area and it's been raining non-stop.
Struggling over the mountains with the big rigs
has been a challenge.  They throw up a tremendous
amount of muddy spray.  They are moving too slowly
for me to follow, and fast enough that its nerve
racking to pass on the windy road.
Sometimes I have to lean to the side to see
around the windshield because of the rain and spray.
111.9 / 26,802 / 9:23
 
Fill up at the Shell Station South side of Redding
141.7 / 26,832 / 10:03
A brief break in the otherwise constant rain.
Continue South on Hwy-5 over a very boring stretch.
At this time, I'm just in a hurry to get home.
No more photos due to rain and lack of patience.
