Road trip day 16.

Wednesday I just drove. Mostly along the 101. And I took pictures. Its all just beautiful. And after awhile, the pictures all look the same. So, just print out the pic you like 100 times, paste them all together end to end and you'll have what driving the 101 along the coast looks like. :)

Oh, and California? Uh...buh bye. I spent enough money there to stimulate your economy back in the black. Thanks Jenny and Erin; enjoyed seeing you guys and meeting your families. Good times.

And then there's Redwood National Forest. Driving up to Lady Bird grove was like driving in a dream. The road went up 1200 feet in two miles; and the mist conditions made things surreal. I didn't take too much time, but I took long enough to soak in these trees. More than a hundred feet tall on average I'd say. And for your Star Wars fans, the Return of the Jedi jungle chase was filmed not too far away. It really was like I was there. And it really is like that.

I took the 126 from Florence to Eugene, and that was just like driving in the jungle. Just amazing. So unique. Pretty much anywhere around here, and for the entire west cost for that matter, just get off the freeway. Spend an extra hour drivig when you have nowhere to be. Just get lost. Its liberating.

Oh, then the baseball game. Yakima Bears at Eugene Emeralds. Played at the University of Oregon PK Park. Go ducks! A beautiful night, but the home teams have got to get it together. You guys are on a five game slide. But don't start Thursday in Portland. The Express is in town.
