GTW Hop 28: Sacramento CA to Redding CA
All but a handful of these miles were on I-5. This was essentially a trip up California’s central valley on a drab, dreary day. I was impressed with how flat the valley is – it reminded me of Kansas. It is far more rural north of Sacramento than south. It probably would have been beautiful on a sunny day, but in the drizzle it was just many miles of gray fields.
We stayed overnight at the Redding RV Park which is right off of I-5 in Redding. The location was convenient and the park is clean, with amenities like a pool and laundry. But the sites are very narrow. It was fine for one night, but I wouldn’t want to stay here much longer.
