Highway 5 - From Oregon to California (Click this title for more information)

Upon leaving Oregeon, we drove from Florence over to Interstate 5. This beautiful, mountainous drive took us through part of the Cascade Mountain range. For about 30 miles, we had Mount Shasta in our view. Yes, there was snow on the top while it was 96 degrees on the highway. No, this is not just another set of trains set up for display. The caboose'es that you see are motel rooms. Called the Rail Road Park Resort (click the title above)- they featured a diner and pool. The views from the resort were fabulous.

Snow plow for the front of the train- made for going through the snows of the Cascades- remember my blog on the trip to Carson City? There were signs for putting chains on your tires- same thing here. Hmm- another place I don't think I will travel to in the winter.
