Day 6 From Sand to Forest

After driving through the desert with 102 temps, this is the camp site we choose at Sparks-Reno,Nevada.

We left Reno and crossed over the Sierra mountains and forest. This is the route of the famous Donner Expedition

After leaving the Sierrra Mountains we descended into the Sacramento Valley. We saw Wheat Fields, Apricot and Pecan Orchards, Vineyards, Fruits and Vegetables grown in this rich valley.

Here we bought some fresh apricots to eat along the way.
Also there were many beautiful Palm trees.

We left the valley and ascended into the Oak Forests and Grasslands

We stopped at Clear Lake for lunch. This thing is over tweny miles
long.

Ended up for the night camping in the Redwood Forest area along the coast near Eureka California.





If you can get this video to work it is what we saw during our 500+ mile stretch over the desert. Not bad for an accidental shooting by Sharon.
