We were planning on arriving home, after nine days in Utah, last night. Snow had other plans for us. We hit a storm just past Susanville, California and ended up getting a room in Mt. Shasta instead.

This morning we headed out of Mt. Shasta on I-5 going north. We were delayed about an hour by chain requirements at the Siskyou Summit on the California/Oregon border.

When we finally arrived back in Ashland, more than 12 hours later than planned, we found our property hadn’t been deserted after all. A family of deer had taken up residence on our back lawn and have not budged even though several hours have passed.
