Day 24 - back to California! Ashland, OR to Yreka, Ca

53 miles, 3861 up
Yreka is 6 miles off course, but was the closest place to go for camping - in an RV park.

This fawn was in front yard when we left in the morning.

Leaving Ashland, we rode about 20 miles up old Hwy 99 headed for Siskiyou summit.

So, this was a welcome sign...

We reached California!
Trudy does a California girl happy dance...
I just sorta stand there...
We were on an overpass and a couple truck drivers gave us a friendly toot!
We had to ride the shoulder of Interstate 5 for about 6 miles - the Ag inspectors applauded and waved us through.

Here's our idyllic lunch stop...
Where we ate the fruit we smuggled over the border for lunch.

Not as quiet as it looks - there was a railroad tie replacement project on the other side of the river.

Our first glimpse of our next destination, Mt. Shasta!

We rolled into Montegue, CA in mid afternoon  and stopped in at the Post Office to find out if there were any campgrounds around - they sent us to City Hall, which was closed, so we went the library, where the librarian and a patron were very helpful, helping us figure out where to stay. Yreka was 6 miles away and had an RV Park, so off we went!
We celebrated our return to CA that night!
