We arrived safely in Redding, CA just before 7 pm- it is incredible what a difference travelling with 2 adults can make! We were so efficient! We were out the door for breakfast at 7 and on the road at 8:12! Matt drove 600 miles today- by himself - I took care of kids and napped and read a magazine. It was great!
Good thing we already had a hotel reservation for Redding- because just before we arrived we passed a sign that said "I-5 closed 10 miles north of Redding". So the good news is we have a warm dry place to sleep- the bad news is that we may be sleeping here for 2 nights instead of 1! The pass on I-5 is snowed in- and they are expecting a lot more snow between 8 and midnight. Apparently the DOT doesn't like to close I-5 so they will get to work clearing it ASAP. Which is good- but that still puts us behind schedule- which is REALLY bad. Matt will miss work and I will miss MOPS- again.
In case you were wondering- we will be as safe as we can be. We all have sufficient winter gear and emergency supplies and my truck is a 4 wheel-drive with brand new tires on it, the rear end is extremely full of stuff and we have chains.
This hotel is packed and noisy so sleeping might be tricky for me- however I should try- we might actually be doing some travelling tomorrow- we shall see!
