Driving Southeast to Klamath, California

Eric and I start our drive southeast to Klamath, California, knowing that a giant storm is due to hit the West Coast.  




The drive starts on 

Oregon & we are on
our way to California.





Eric and I have reservations set further south and will be keeping them.






We will pass by the northern
entrance to Crater Lake.




Snow dusts the pines &
covers the ground.

5,800 feet above Sea Level





Welcome





A shot of Diamond Lake
on a dreary morning










Exposed tree roots at the upper
edge of a roadside embankment.






Pine Trees in the Mist




We are on the Rogue Umpqua






A farm in a secluded 
valley




Eric follows signs to Interstate 5.





It's a pretty drive south.




We watch for Deer.

















Our next turn is onto







The skies open up and...






... the Welcome to California
sign is badly blurred by rain.





Colorful deciduous trees
are mixed with Pines.








We will stop in Crescent City
to get Covid Booster Shots &
Diesel for the motorhome.









The rest of today's drive is
the passenger side window
of the cockpit.
right next to the road.

Eric thinks the road
was planned around
the trees.





The first of two one lane
construction zones.





People go to the beach to
watch the stormy sea
up close.





We arrive at Klamath River
Right on the River






The Office & Store










Eric & I are here with a handful
of RVers.

our windshield.







Some electrical utilities are carefully wrapped in plastic and securely taped.  This campground is in the process of closing for the season soon.

Heavy rains are expected tomorrow.  I'm going to Tex Mex Soup.  Here's the recipe for this Paleo Diet inspired soup:

Tex Mex Chicken Soup for 4 Quart Crock Pot

1 ½ lb Boneless Chicken

4 cups Low Salt Chicken Broth

2 small cans OR 1 large can of Diced Tomatoes

2 Peppers, Chopped

1 Onion, Finely Chopped

2 Tablespoon Chili Powder

1 ¼ Tablespoons Garlic

2 Teaspoon Cumin

Combine all ingredients.  Cover, cook on LOW until Chicken is thoroughly cooked through, 7 to 8 hours.

Remove Chicken - Shred & return to soup

Can be served with Cheese, Avocado, Cilantro

Season with Salt & Pepper to taste
