Today we left my mother's home and headed out on our trip home. This is always the hardest part of the trip. I know that we miss each other and saying goodbye is always so hard to do...wait there is a song about that. We have chosen to alter our trip home from our original plan. If I have learned anything with al of the mission trips that I have been on it is to be flexible. While at my mother's we found out that the property that used to be their home in Eagle Point, OR, which is now a rental, was not being taken care of by the property management group. My sister and her husband decided to head there today and do some landscaping clean up. Laura and I decided that since we were here we would route through Eagle Point and help out. So today was a day of gardening in Oregon. We will do a long ride tomorrow to get back on track for our trip home.
Northern California is really a beautiful area. Here is Mt. Shasta. Highway 5 to Oregon comes up on the south end of the mountain and wraps around on the west side. Wonderful views for a couple of hundred miles.
Fortunately, everything at my mother's rental was not as bad as it had sounded like. Here are just a couple of before pictures. We were able to get most of the landscaping cleanup taken care of today. Linda and Nick will finish things up tomorrow by putting down some weed barrier and gravel in the bare areas and finishing up by finding someone new to manage the property and the landscaping.

Tomorrow we continue our trip home by heading to Idaho Falls, Idaho.
Here is the route so far for our trip.
