Holler-ing from the Road

Ill keep it quick because we lost an hour on the road today, making it a 14 hour day.  Also, because I was lazy last night, I skipped Day 1 so I'll update both.

Katy and I have had a great time, as expected. We are trying to wing things as much as possible... keeping things interesting. Improv. We have both resisted this considering our need to be organized and plan, but who's to say we shouldn't be challenging ourselves on this trip...

The Redwoods along the Avenue of the Giants and in Redwood National Park were an amazing way to keep us occupied on our Day 1, 400 mile journey. I made Kates get out and hug a tree... makes sence (will post that pic later). After going through some interesting towns, we finally landed in Crescent City, a tiny little beach town as high as you can go in Northern California. At this point I realized I was very far from SF. It was a quiet but beautiful way to end my time in Cali (for now).

Day 2 we knew was going to be tough, leaving Cali at 7a, visiting Crater Lake and then heading as far east as we could.  With so many beautiful sights along the way, it was hard to keep our eyes on the road.  We watched a beautiful sunset on the butte's, after forcing Katy to pull over at any vista point we found.  In Kates book, I think I have surpassed my 'vista point' quota. 15 mix CD's later and 600+ miles, we have arrived at the border of Oregon and Idaho.

Looking forward to the journey east tomorrow, with an end point of West Yellowstone! Hopefully we get a chance to see the Craters of the Earth National Monument. We will keep you updated.

BTW I miss San Francisco already and the food on this trip has been sub-par (they may be synonymous).  Ew and the bugs on my winshield / grill, way gross. I'm making Katy clean it in the morning- torturous little sister.
