Well, we just found out our renter lost her job, and we are listing with a property management company. We figured it's no more gas to go down to Redding and back than to take a truck and our minivan on the way out, and it will give us a couple of weeks to show the place before we head out. And hopefully get it rented (eeek!).
So it will be 2-3 weeks, hopefully not cold enough to snow us in at higher elevations, and we'll probably leave on a Wednesday afternoon and stay somewhere out I-84 in E. Oregon. If we aim for shorter drive times, my husband can fit in a few hours work at night and not have so much time to make up when we arrive, and that should still get us in on a Sunday, and a more leisurely pace.
Thanks for the spacing advice.... Trying to figure out how to break things up when I've never been there is tricky. :)
