Dec. 4th got the clearance from the Doc. to leave Salem. Thursday we headed South, spent the night in Grants Pass got up to freezing rain, decided to head for Medford I-5 was clear so we started over the pass, made it over the first hump it was clear and wet went through the Cal. check point and up to the top of the hill just over the crest was snow everywhere and the traffic was at a stand still. A big rig had spun out and stopped all traffic we went into the rest area and waited for 2 hours it was still snowing. Jay talked to a state man and he told us to use the old highway to Yreka it would be slow because it was crooked but no hills to pull. So off we went it was 7 miles to Yreka ....that was the slowwwwwest 7 miles we ever went. Now spending the night at Red Bluff, Cal. Will leave for Elk Grove to see Doris and Rudy...spend a couple of days with them and head for Cherry Valley, Ca.
