After stellar weather for the week we left Coos Bay a day early on Sunday
morning and travelled to Redding, CA, about 300 miles. Long day through the
twisties from the coast then through southern OR and Norcal. Left Redding
about 8:00 am yesterday and put the hammer down and got back home at 10:00
pm last night about 700 miles. Threw an A/C belt outside of Fresno but had a
spare and put it on. Other than that very uneventful trip. Came up through
the Tehachapi mountains to avoid the LA bustle. Added a few miles but much
easier than being in rush hour in LA. Spoke with Armand and Carol Minnie
this morning and they were near Red Bluff, CA on the way home to AZ.
Just a fun time in Coos Bay, good food, lots of mini-parties and lie
telling. Joanne won a hundred bucks over the course of the two casinos we
stayed at however I think some others did much better. Fortunately gas
prices were all the in the $3.50 range both in OR and selected CA gas
stations.
Bought 10 pieces of the clearest, straight grain douglas fir planks I have
ever seen. Currently stowed under the back bunk. I have no idea what I will
use it for but could not pass up the deal. Also bought a case of canned
albacore from http://chucksseafood.com in Charleston, OR a few miles from
Coos Bay. We like tuna but some of the stuff in the markets I would not feed
to my cat!. Will send a pic link later today for some of the lighthouses in
the area that we toured.
Thanks to the Works, the Minnies and the de Graffenreids, (and many others)
for a great week.
Thanks,
Gary and Joanne Worobec
