getting shipped out
I will be in Redding and possibly Weed tomorrow through next Thursday. Anything going on?

Weed? There's nothing in Weed, except a nice close-up view of Mt. Shasta. In Redding you can plan on it being swelteringly hot so you may want to look into a trip to one of the nearby lakes (Shasta or Whiskeytown) and/or a trip to the WaterWorks waterslide park. Shasta Caverns on Lake Shasta is cool (literally!) very interesting tour and a comfortable 60º or so inside.

Tiger Dan you say "swelteringly hot" it was 117 degrees F here today.
I most likely won't get to Weed, however there are not too many details about this trip, just 3 aircraft 1 mechanic. That equals not good in the EMS business.

helifixer, If you can, checkout "Avenue of the Giants", off of 101; if you like the worlds biggest/tallest trees.
Like TigerDan posted, Shasta Caverns is also a "cool" place.
Lots to see, if you have the time.

Unfortunately, Avenue of the Giants is way more than his 1/2 hour limit from Redding. More like about 3 hours over to Eureka and down 101. Nice thought though, Ben. And a heck of a lot cooler over there!
And I've moved this thread to the No. Calif. chapter forum, a little more appropriate place for it.
ON EDIT: Oops, now (too late!) I see it was already cross-posted here...boy is my face red! Now we have two threads in here on the same subject! Oh Ray...you wanna fix this?!

Lol, I lived in Phoenix back in the early 80's for 5 years, I remember the dog-days of 120*'s in August.

When I lived just outside Redding, also in the early '80s I worked at a truck rental in Redding. We didn't have a shop and I had to do all my repair and maintenance outside on the asphault, no shade even. This was not fun. Kind of a PITA when you couldn't jack up a truck because the jack would sink into the hot asphault!
I really don't like the heat. I would love to move back up to Tahoe, but I couldn't afford to buy a house there these days.

I lived in Tahoe City, graduated from North Tahoe high school. When we moved there in '73 we paid 69K for a 2400 sq.ft. house on an acre, bought the lot next door for 12K and sold the whole deal 6 years later for 189K. The house alone is worth close to a million today...
Of all the places I've lived around this state, I think I liked Tahoe the best.
