The caravan left San Jose at about 9:00 a.m. and we were supposed to meet them at the Pilot gas station just north of where I-5 and I-505 meet but we had some shopping do so we decided to go on and meet them in Willows. Our meeting place was Nancy’s Airport Cafe in Willows, CA for lunch. This is a popular place for truck drivers and locals and we can see why. They serve great hamburgers but have a big menu, great service and reasonable prices. There were eight or nine of us who met there and had a great lunch. We then left and drove to Redding to camp for the night. The weather was great – it was supposed to rain but we were mostly spared except for a few sprinkles here and there.
