Fun Trip! Part 2

[cjsmith]

Sunday: Delivered gift at breakfast - big hit. Tillamook. Scenic coast drive. Stayed in a motel I will never stay in again. Tillamook cheese place has delicious ice cream.

Monday: Did not run. (Figured if the pain broke through the chemicals while I was in some random desolate stretch of US101, no one would ever find me.) Much scenic coast stuff. Little flea market store had fondue forks, which I gladly bought to replace some I'm still missing from a long-ago party. Suddenly realized we had a little less than three hours to drive about a 3.5-hour stint. Fled for Dunsmuir. At least two highway patrolmen looked the other way. (I know this because I watched them.) Slept in a railroad car.

Tuesday: Poked around the town of Mount Shasta, including a drive up to Castle Lake (currently frozen over). Met some cute dogs there. Drove home. Reunited with loving adorable kitties. Tired. Sleep now.

It sure was! 8-) The trip was relaxing and enjoyable and (in many places) delicious. Now back to my regularly scheduled life...

Welcome back! Glad you had a good time!

Thanks! 8-) Ah, the life of the open road... far more romantic and fun, of course, with Visa in hand than it would've been without!

I love Mount Shasta and Dunsmuir. Shasta is, in fact, in my "interests" list. :) And I love that at Dunsmuir, you can easily wade the Sacramento River.

I remember being surprised by the name the map gave to that little creek. 8-)

(Similar sort of surprise when I was jaywalking across 101 in Oregon. Couldn't be bothered to go as far as the crosswalk.)

They've been made up nice, so the interior really does look pretty much like a long thin hotel room. But they're cabooses all right (er, cabeese?), on rails.
