Yep, I caught that also.
I got lost in the description. It almost sounded like they went down to
the Medford area, then over to Klamath Falls area.   Then they went south
past Mt Shasta,  to Sacramento.  I'm not familiar enough with that area of
Oregon, would it have been easier to travel going that route, rather than
just straight south from Medford?
