Great Scott--no need to be blue

Putting blues behind one Hello One More Time, This set was omitted previously. It has the distinction of being the last one. Wednesday 20th We left Mount Shasta and slept south of Redding, in the town of Williams. We have experienced many small towns and motels, enjoying them all without exception. Our editor has an eye for the soft, warm bed and a sense of the right room atmosphere. Our days, filled with activity, leave little time or energy for sightseeing at night.
