Today began with a beautiful sunrise over the Central Valley of California. The day dawned on
miles and miles of fruit and nut trees all in bloom. The day ended 12 hours later watching a rosy
sunset over the Sand Trap Mtns. of southern Arizona. We are 50 miles from Tucson. Have
only 4-5 hours to go tomorrow. Called the realtor, and she gave us our new address!! We'll be in
a house with the same floorplan, but with a larger patio and better view of the Organ Mtns.!
Sounds great.

Long driving day today. We made it to Santa Nella, CA. After getting out of the morning fog, we
had a sunny drive all the way. Mt. McLoughlin was very majestic as we entered Medford. Mt. Shasta was beautiful, too. I-5 was bare, but there was snow on the sides of the road from Shasta
City until we were almost to Shasta Lake. We were just about blown away by the wind when we stopped at a rest area in Weed. Strider is a good traveler. Time to relax and then hit the hay for
another long drive tomorrow.

Thursday, February 25th
Leaving tomorrow for the SW! Getting out of the snow, cold and rain.
