We drove in a haze today, literally. We left Galt at 9:30 am and the temperature was 52°. It got quite warm the further south we drove. Wheeler Ridge is just south of the junction of I-5 and Hwy 99, north of Los Angeles. We arrived at the truck stop here around 3:30 pm in 70° weather. I have a feeling I won’t be wearing sweaters again until we get back up to Wisconsin! Here are today’s pictures: Continue reading
It was foggy when we got up in Roseburg this morning. We headed out at 9:15 am and the temperature was 39° F. We were in and out of fog all morning as we went through the Calapooya Mountains in southern Oregon and the northern edge of California. Here are some pictures from today. Continue reading

I think I mentioned a couple days ago that Mark was coming down with a cold. I’ve been trying to doctor him up, but it’s taking its course. This morning before we left Burley, Idaho, Mark went into Walmart and got himself some appropriate gear for the outdoors… Continue reading
Mark and I splurged this morning and had breakfast at the IHOP that was right across the street from the Walmart where we spent the night. Fortified, we crossed two mountain ranges (the Rockies and the Wasatch Mountains) and two state lines (Utah and Idaho). Here are today’s pictures: Continue reading
