California

Weren't we just here? Reports of more cold and possibly lots of snow sent us south. We considered Reno or Elko, but aimed for Redding instead, then continued out the Trinity River to the coast. Patrick's Point was beautiful, as was the southern Oregon coast, but Friday D came down with the flu as we climbed the hill past Sea Lion Caves and Heceta Head. We retreated to a Florence motel where we spent an unpleasant night, before abandoning the coast and heading home on Saturday. Disappointing way to end the trip, but we covered 1600 of miles, I got a much-needed fix of the open road (and I learned lots of interesting football statistics, too). I listened to some of the stuff on his ipod (TuPac); he listened to some of the stuff on mine (Springsteen).
