WE START OUT EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. THE HOURS CROSSING CALIIFORNIA. WAS MANY HOURS, NOT TO MENTION DRIVING ALL THOSE HOURS, OH AND THE FUEL COSTS. MAYBE YOU GET THE THE LONG TIME IN THE VAN. ANY WAY WE FIRST MET UP WITH THE FOG, I MEAN SMOG. ONCE WE ARE AWAY FROM THE CITY, IT CLEARS UP. LOTS OF TREES. NOT BIG TREES, ORCHARD TYPE OF TREES. SORRY NO PICTURES COULD DO JUSTICE TO THE MANY MILES OF TREES. ONCE WE STARTED CROSSING BRIDGES, THAT ACTUALLY HAD RUNNING WATER, THE TREES WERE NATURAL TO THE COUNTRY SIDE SITES. MOUNT SHASTA WAS PRETTY. BUT ALMOST AS SOON AS WE CROSS INTO OREGON IT SEEMED LIKE THEY BROUGHT OUT THE REAL GOOD STUFF JUST SO WE WOULD KNOW WE WERE IN A NEW STATE.
THEN WE GE A BRIEF TOUR OF AN ANIMAL REFUGE. OOPS THOSE SENIOR MOMENTS JUST KEEP COMING OUT OF NOWHERE.
LOOK BELOW FOR WHAT I WAS AFTER
THERE WERE FALCONS AND EAGLES AND OWLS, BIG BLACK BEARS AND, WELL YOU KNOW.
THERE WERE BLACK BERRY BUSHES EVERYWHERE IN GRANTS PASS, THEY ARE WEEDS TO THESE PARTS.
DAVID GOT OUT OF HAND WITH ALL THIS.
WE STOPPED AND PICKED A BUNCH OF BLACKBERRY'S AND ONE OF THE BUSHES GOT THE BEST OF
DAVID. OR IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIS SEE THIS WHAT I DID MOM MOMENTS. HIS EYE WAS ONE OF THE REAL TART ONES. PRETTY SCAREY DON'T YOU THINK. LOL
