We have returned from our vacation....the one I had hoped would take us into Kansas to see my grandmother.
I will submit a short synopsis of the vacation. We headed South through Oregon into Northern California then East into Reno Nevada. That was the first day. From Reno, we headed East and got snowed in when we arrived at Austin Nevada on Hwy 50. That was day two. For the next twelve days, give or take, we headed back West until we made it to the Californian Coast and North back to our house. Some highlights were the townsfolk of Austin Nevada who were great conversationalists. We talked about many things; the weather, jobs and just about everything....but mostly about the weather. The snow storm was heading East ( as we were trying to drive East )....we would have continued if we weren't at an altitude over 7,000 feet. Yes indeed...pretty steep drops on either side of the road.
We met some fantastic folks along the way. Northern Californians are awesome people and we wished we had more time to chat with them before we headed West towards Blue Lake. The next day we traveled North along the coast to Orick California and the Giant Redwoods.
After the Redwoods, we traveled the coast of Oregon and loaded up on Pirate Booty ( reproductions of the old Pieces of Eight that were carried on Merchant ships long ago ).
We left Astoria Oregon this morning as it was snowing...only to discover that it was snowing at home too. Looking forward to Spring and Summer. Have a great day everyone!
