TEAMWORK; Coalinga-CA to Anderson-CA

April 8th: We left Coalinga-CA this morning, heading for Redding-CA; where we'll 🛌 another night along the route, before we make Ocean Park-WA. We'll be a day late, but that's okay 😉

Holland is driving straight freeway all the way to the PNW. Leaving Coalinga, all we could see for miles and miles was orchards on both sides of the blacktop.

Orchards, bee boxes, tumbled tumbleweeds, & vineyards: as far as the eye could see.

Until we reached Sacramento-CA; then the drone of wheels on freeway roadway lulled me to 💤 periodically. I hadn't slept much the night before, so it was a wonder I hadn't been sleeping since we left Coalinga.

I woke up as Holland was turning into a Maverick Fuel Station in Orland-CA, to feed Betsy some fossil fuel … and my funny bone was tickled 😂🤣 when I saw what had been custom painted to the hood of a jeep next to us:

Midlife Crisis humor ;-)

The weather was wonderful & it 'held' thru the evening in Redding, too.

We reached our destination in Redding-CA an hour later. We did not unhook … we just slid the slide-outs out, set up as minimally as possible - and relaxed for an hour or so.

Then Holland made supper in the instant pot … he insisted, saying, "You were whistling in your sleep all night long the other night (referring to my asthma-mucus clogged lungs; no attack, just lung struggle); just relax. I'll do the cooking." ❤️

I let him - but, I insisted on doing the dishes, afterwards. And, he let me 😘

Around 8 PM, I turned in early, hoping to wake up bright-eyed & bushy-tailed 😊
