On the road Jan 2011 day 1

We're off on a driving trip to Arizona and eventually to Savannah, GA.

As usual when we're headed South we drove from home to Sacramento.
It's a good day's drive, about 575 miles and 8 1/2 hours. Today we got
away from home about 6:15 AM and checked into our motel here in
Sacramento before 4:30 PM.

Weather was changeable. :) Lots of rain, some snow, plenty of wind.
No problems over the summit at the state line but when we got down
around Mt Shasta there was lots of snows. The plows were even out.

We have a new GPS this trip and we're still getting used to it. It does
have one feature I like a lot. When you're more than 3 mph over the
speed limit it puts a red background behind the speed/speed limit
display. Pretty handy if you miss seeing a speed limit reduction sign.

No photos today but it was a long driving day...
