About the only thing I ever hit there is the Walmart store for supplies. There's plenty within driving distance (Lassen Volcanic National Park, Shasta, Whiskeytown Recreation Area, and the city of Redding), but without a car you're certainly penalized.

I'm overnighting in Redding on Monday on the way to Washington. If you need to get out of there and are heading north you're certainly welcome to come along. I overnight in Oregon on Tuesday and then up to Washington on Wednesday. You can let me know as late as Monday morning.
