Portland to California
From Portland it was time to head to California. I had spent the night at a Portland rest area. they had planted trees representing each state. In the morning, I headed straight down I-5. I stayed at a rest area just above lake Shasta and then to my brothers up above Chico. The area 1 used to be very beautiful. Tall evergreens trees everywhere. The 2018 fires burned it all out. It’s so different now. You can see for miles, you can hear everything. A few trees here and there. The brush is growing back. The oaks are growing back. It’ll be many years before all those evergreens come back.
My new temporary home.
