Redding Calif. visiting friends

We landed yesterday in Redding Calif. staying at the Elks Lodge parking lot, they have electric and water, we will have to use the dump station they have here when we leave. When we left Susanville yesterday all 3 of our GPS's decided to take a dump on us, the 2 on Dave's computer wouldn't work and the one from my car wouldn't work either. The computer ones kept saying they couldn't find a satellite, so Dave figures the blue tooth thing must be bad, then the one from the car kept saying the battery was low, even though we had it plugged in, but if you held the cord just right it would work. That darn thing worked the whole way until we got to Redding and it said battery low and went out, great just when we needed it. I got it working again and held the cord in place until we got to the Elk's Lodge.
Anyway, after we got set-up we went over to Bob and Jackie's house, with Valley, and sat in their backyard and visited. Bob BBQ'd steaks for dinner then about 8:30 we took off for Turtle Bay to walk on the Sundial Bridge. Pretty neat bridge, goes right over the Sacramento River, even Valley liked it.
Today we are all going to Lassen Volcanic National Park to check it out, it's after the Holiday so hopefully there should be much traffic.
