NoCal Brew Tour: Day 2, Medford to Chico

Day 2 began nice and early (for us). We left Medford around 9. I've never driven on I-5 south of Ashland, so it was new road for me. Interesting fact: the pass over the border is the highest point on I-5. For those of you who haven't been on that stretch of road, it's gorgeous. Here's some pictures Mimi took from the car.

Yes, that's my tongue sticking out. It's bigger than Mt. Shasta!

Here's a cool cinder cone mountain further south.

Since we didn't have any breakfast, we stopped in the town of Mt. Shasta around 11:30 at a local natural food store recommended to us by a friend of Kenji's. It was delicious. If you're in the area, stop by. It's called Berryvale Grocery.

From there, it was only 2 more hours to Chico. We were pleasantly surprised at the much shorter drive time than we anticipated.
