Raven’s RV
The ongoing education and adventures of two rank newbie RVers

A few miles outside Redding highway 299 leads you to this scenic overlook. I’d been here before, in 2001, when I visited for the Women on Wheels® ride-in with my friend from Alaska. There wasn’t too much we could do with the time we had, but we walked around and looked at gorgeous Lake Shasta.

I didn’t realize this was the National Park Service, and I didn’t have my National Parks passport with me. I’ve subsequently brought it on board!

When we first started to pack to leave our Sunnyvale home, I tucked “road trip” items away in a big blue tote. Most of those items are now in the rig…

It was a little awkward to turn around. The parking lot is one-way and we were facing the wrong way, parked on its edge as we were. So, Don took us forward and to a turnout from which we had to turn left. Traffic was sparse but it tended to barrel, and the one thing Harvey can’t do is scurry. We managed it eventually.
