Staying at a rest stop, close to the freeway, along side a dozen or two big rigs doesn't afford the same comforts as a Four Seasons Hotel. From a purely functional standpoint, it served the purpose just fine. A little noisy but we woke up well rested.
We were on the road by 7:25 and found our way to Sacramento by about 6:30 this evening.
Traveling all of the ups, downs and curves of Grants Pass, Ashland and Mt. Shasta made for some slow going but we chugged along at about the same speed as the Semi's and found the pace comfortable. Pulling the 5250 lb trailer behind us helped define the capabilities.
On our way to Sacramento, we looked up Truck Stops. The thinking is, this would be a good place to stop for the night for some dinner and a shower. We pulled into a popular one on the search engines and found it is a huge city in itself (the Sacramento 49er Travel Plaza).
Seemingly thousands of Semi's encircled the several buildings that made up the stop. We drove around, looking for a place to nestle among big rigs but it appeared that every nook and cranny was occupied. After initially giving up, a second lap found a spot actually designated for motor homes.
Tummy's now full and all cleaned up, we wonder out for a beer.
First thing in the morning we'll continue south. We should end up close to Palm Springs. Once we find a spot to park in Palm Springs, we can pull the bikes out and start riding.
