The southward progress of our trek towards warmth continued today. We broke camp in Redding and hopped on I-5 for the long leg toward Excremento, capital of California and quagmire of governmental tomfoolery. Fortunately, we exited I-5 north of the rampant shennanigans and turned due south on CA-113, an amazingly lumpy two-lane road that allowed us to avoid the nightmare of official traffic congestion and to soon intersect with I-80. We turned west on 80 for two exits and then continued south on an even lumpier section of CA-113 where the paving is such that all the contents of our trailer were rearranged into a more random arrangement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tAfter encountering some of the most\njarring pavement surfaces available outside a motor vehicle test\nfacility, we came to a surprise roundabout in the middle of nowhere\nwhere we turned east on CA-12, toward Lodi and the Sacramento River\nDelta. After some more mildly terrifying high speed\/low passing\nclearance driving, we got to a place called Isleton where we turned\noff onto a very skinny road atop a Sacramento River levee which we\nfollowed for a few miles before arriving at The Lighthouse RV Park\n(at least our second \u201cLighthouse RV Park\u201d on this year’s\nexcursion, neither within sight of any lighthouses) and dropping down\ntheir nearly vertical driveway and into our lodgings for the next two\ndays. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tThis park has full hookups, at least\nin our space, WiFi available at usurious rates and is located about\n30 feet below the the top of a massive dike along the Sacramento\nRiver and one downpour away from uncontrollable flooding if the levee\nbreaks. Reassuringly, the dike is made of dirt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
