Driving gave him time to nap. It was a short drive to Redding where we stopped at Trader Joe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s to get some necessities &#8211; the nicest people! Then, we stopped at a Barnes &amp; Noble for Internet reception so we could find a campsite on Shas<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-68\" title=\"shasta-approach\" src=\"http:\/\/daveandcourt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/shasta-approach.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"http:\/\/daveandcourt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/shasta-approach.jpg 320w, http:\/\/daveandcourt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/shasta-approach-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/>ta lake.

We stopped for lunch at a vista point to view Shasta, which was beautiful, full, deep green, and surrounded by trees.\u00c2\u00a0 The drive was fun crossing all of Shasta\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fingers and all the bridges. Some highlights from the drive: green expanse, Sacramento River, trees, snow covered Mt.

Oregon was 83 degrees, cloudy, and green before it started to pour and drop into the 60s.<\/p>\n<p>Again, after locating a Starbucks in Medford for Internet we decided to stay at the Bridgeview RV park on the Rogue  River. It was a typical RV park &#8211; sites lined up side by side, close together &#8211; but it was very clean with a great view of the river.
