STORMY WEATHER, DURANGO RV RESORT, RED BLUFF, CA.

We were happy to be back at Seven Feathers again,  it is a beautiful resort with indoor swimming pool and hot tub. We had a lovely site again and glad to be where hopefully  the weather wouldn't be as bad. It was a little windy for the drive over, but no rain.  It started raining after we got set up.



We couldn't wait to get in the hot tub, it had been a while....it was nice and hot!


 It rained hard and was very windy  all the next day. We cleaned house and washed clothes.
 Later we drove over to the Casino.


We put on our heavy waterproof coats!


It rained all night and all the next day, which was Sunday. I did some baking and made fried rice to freeze. We only got out once to get some ingredients. It was a very messy day, Maggie and Marlee hated to go out and go potty.


We left on Monday morning for Red Bluff, California and  Durango RV Park, and hopefully drier weather!



We sure didn't like this weather update! It says winter driving  next 18 miles!
WINTER!!! WE DON'T LIKE WINTER!!


We were back in California!


We arrived in Red Bluff around 2:30 and finally saw the sun after four days!! Durango is a beautiful RV park, one of the nicer ones we have stayed in.








The hot tub and pool were almost always deserted. This RV Park even  had a dog wash!




 Red Bluff is located  right on the Sacramento River.



I loved this little town, I told Darrell I could live here.



When we checked in,  the RV Park gave us some information of things to do in the area. One of the afternoon trips was to take Highway 99 to Los Molinos. There were fresh produce stands all the way to Los Molinos. That sounded like something we would love to do, so we set out.





Our favorite stop was this one.


When I walked in I said WOW! I've never seen so many walnuts!


The nice lady behind the counter said," Oh, that's nothing and took us in the back and showed us huge  bins  of walnuts! They raise Chandler walnuts here.


She showed us how they grew and explained how they harvest them.




Walnuts aren't my favorite nut, but we bought a bag and when I got back to the RV I wished I had bought more. They are delicious, the best walnuts I have ever eaten. We stopped at several more stands, this was out Bounty........


Walnuts, pistachios, almonds, tomatoes, persimmons, pomegranite, peaches, pumpkin and garlic. They were all delicious!
The next day we drove over to Redding, Ca. to do a little shopping and eat at In-N-Out.
We were headed toward Lassen Volcanic National Park, where all four types of volcanoes found in the entire world are represented.



Our first In-N-Out burger since leaving Arizona in the spring.
 The next day it was time to continue our journey, we headed to Lodi, California and Flag City RV Resort, a Passport America Park, we stayed here before in 2013.
