We had a pleasant, leisurely morning. Dale made his "pancake" for us for breakfast with apples, blueberries and walnuts. It was very good and kept us full for most of the day. Gas at Costco this morning in Chico was $3.99/gallon - the lowest we've seen for awhile.
We headed back to the Interstate for another day of driving. This time with more lanes and straighter pavement. There is some spectacular scenery - through the Lake Shasta area especially.
We are now in Grant's Pass and found a convenient motel near downtown. We enjoyed walking around their restored historic area and found a trattoria for dinner - we enjoyed their dinner for two: an appetizer (artichoke dip with crostini), soup or salad (I had artichoke veloute soup/Don had Italian wedding soup), entree (sausage ragout with penne pasta for Don, chicken with fresh basil and walnuts in creamy garlic sauce for me) and a shared dessert (lemon biscotti cheesecake). We brought half our entrees home for breakfast and/or dinner tomorrow). And no sales tax on dinner.
Onward tomorrow.

It all just sounds wonderful.
We went by library again yesterday & hanging basket missing again! What's up with that!?!
Continue your wonderful journey and thanks for sharing it with us!
Costco gas was the same here last fillup.
It sounds like a great time. I loved Grants Pass when I was there last summer.
P.S. the cats are still both around, not sleeping together anymore, Miss Ferocious Gray Kitty has taken to sleeping in the box on the floor next to the laundry closet. She's been there three days, but she must get out sometimes as she doesn't appear to be messing in her new found bed/box. So we're all still getting along well. Keep having fun. And don't come home as members of Aryan Nation.
