After we left Washington, we drove to Red Bluff, California. Crossing into California was uneventful, however, as we drove into the Mt. Shasta area we entered a snow zone with lots of snow along the road and big flakes hitting the windshield. We were not amused. As we got to lower elevation, the precipitation changed over to rain which continued throughout the evening. Unfortunately, the weather report was full of bad news. It was snowing in the Sierra Mountains and chains were required to get over the pass into Reno. This meant we moved out reservation out a day in Reno and spent the night in a motel in Sacramento.
