Spent a pleasant afternoon and evening with Rita's brothers Ray & Richard on May 1. We stayed in the old gold mining town of Gold Hill, near Medford, in southern Oregon, which is only a few minutes away from Richard & Pat's place and in the same little RV park where Ray lives - they have a few little motel-type units with kitchenettes which were quite nice.
Had a great Mexican dinner with everyone at Pat's favorite restaurant, then departed the next morning for Mt. Shasta where we spent the night about 2 blocks away from the old house (actually just a vacant lot now) where Rita and her family lived many years ago. Guess the place was knocked down to make way for the I-5 right of way many years ago and all that's left are a couple of old trees. Still, Rita said the rest of the street, including nearby landmarks like her old grammar school and the local Catholic church, looked remarkably the same. Too rainy and cloudy to see much of Mt Shasta, but was still pretty enough to get the general idea.
