Following a wonderful night’s sleep at the Elks in Redding – a place we will return to at the end of our adventure – Nanine and I packed up our respective rigs and drove to Spring Hill Trail near Mt. Shasta City.  The trail provided fabulous views of Mt. Shasta along with a nice climb and well-maintained trail.

Next, after getting gas across the border in Oregon, which saved about $0.40/gallon, we continued driving until arriving at our Harvest Host for this evening, EdenVale Winery.  This winery was established in 1999 on the site of the first Pear Tree orchard, founded by Joseph Stewart in 1885.  Our host, Aaron, after directing us where to park our rigs, gave us a bit of background on the winery and then directed us to the tasting room for our tasting.  I admit:  the wines are…okay… I was hoping for some stronger flavors… Perhaps at the other Harvest Host winery we’ll be visiting later…?

Time to rest a bit as there is a major meteor shower tonight.  Perhaps I’ll be able to stay awake long enough to see it!  And perhaps the sky will clear enough to see some falling stars…
