We added two more states to our list today, Idaho and Montana. Unfortunately, we didn’t quite make it to Going-To-The-Sun-Rd. today. The National Bison Refuge turned into a 2.5 hour visit, instead of a drive-by type type thing like I expected. Oh well. It was worth it. We saw 300-400 bison, a few from less [...]
We’ve been on the road for 26 days now and today was the first visit to the doctor. Not bad considering we’ve been over 6,500 miles, eh? My mom’s ear has really been bothering her, so today I made her go to the doctor in SeaTac. He prescribed some drops and we were on our [...]
Today was an unexpected treasure. Thank you Matt, Erika, and Bill Ayer. We’d planned to meet up with Matt and Erika in Seattle, after we got another oil change in the Blazer. (We’ve now been over 6,500 miles.) Since Matt and Erika couldn’t tell us exactly where to go, we picked them up and they [...]
Now that we’ve driven through Tacoma, I’ve completed yet another song.
I went from Pheonix, Arizona all the way to Tacoma
Phelidelphia, Atlanta, L.A.,
Northern California….
We started off the day in Tillamook, OR at the world famous cheese factory. Part of an educational trip, I learned what a cheese curd is today. Then we drove to Astoria, Oregon [...]
Today we drove up Highway 101 along the beautiful forrest covered coastline of Oregon. In route to 101, we stopped for a picnic lunch along the Umpqua River in Douglas County, Oregon. And, as I was reading all the various park regulations, I found one particular rule somewhat interesting:
It shall be unlawful for any person [...]
Today was rather uneventful, at least when compared to rest of the trip. No casino winnings, UFO spottings, bear sightings, tree hugging, etc. We drove almost 500 miles and sadly/finally left the great state of California. Of course, we could’ve stayed in CA much longer, but we still have a lot of ground to cover [...]
Today we drove through Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park. We saw two of the largest living trees (and living objects for that matter) in the entire world. General Grant, the world’s 3 largest tree, is estimated to be between 1,800 and 2,000 years old. That means it was a young whippersnapper in approximately year [...]
This morning we started back up Highway 1 toward San Francisco. Note to everyone alive: if you ever have the chance to do it, make sure you drive Highway 1 at some point in your life. It is one of the most amazing sights you’ll ever see. The lighthouse photo came from along Highway 1.
Once [...]
Since Charlie had to work today, we intended to spend the day seeing local sights. Our first target was the “Mystery House.” Unfortunately, we ended up at “The Mystery Spot” (which seemed to be California’s version of “Mystery Hill” in North Carolina.) Realizing our mistake, we quickly regrouped and drove to the Mystery House in [...]
Woah! Less than an hour ago, my mom saw Charlie, a old friend from the Peace Corps, for the first time in more than 30 years! It was really quite emotional. Right now I’m sitting in a hotel in Scotts Valley, CA. Jack and I sent my mom across the street so she could catch [...]
