Abraham Lincoln Shrine, Redlands, CA. Sep. 5, 2013

Today is September 5, 2013 and Janice and I had a lovely breakfast at our motel  where we were able to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather and surroundings checked out and  drove to Redlands, CA. where the Abraham Lincoln Shrine is located. We knew it would be closed since the hours are 1 P. M. to 5 P. M. but at least we could get some photographs of the outside and any other writings or carvings there might be. It took us several hours to drive the fairly short distance to Redlands because of the morning rush hour traffic but we made it in one piece. The following are pictures I took of the facility and the grounds.

We spent roughly an hour at the Lincoln Shrine. I was impressed with the exterior of the shrine and I am sure I would have been equally impressed with the interior.  Now it is time to head  back to Janice's home. Again we had to battle extremely heavy traffic along with an accident that had 2 lanes blocked just a quarter of a mile from where we need to change routes and get out of the traffic. We had a lovely drive back through the mountains and fruit and nut growing territory. We arrived back at Janice's about 3 or 3:30. After unpacking the car I started to reload the car to head east. My hope is to get an early start in the morning.

I have enjoyed so much having Janice with me on this trip. I hope she enjoyed it as much as I did . God willing the next stop will be somewhere north and east of Las Vegas. As always please remember that God loves you and so do I.

Today's Comment: This is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. Genesis 28: 17.
