Maybe you already know this, but if you don’t, you should know: California is a very long state. It starts way, way down at one end, and then it goes up up up, a long long way. I should know. I started somewhere just below the middle, and drove all day, into the dark night, and do you know, we woke up and it was still California! How do they expect us to get to other states if this one just keeps going?
Even though it was still California, it didn’t exactly look like what I think of as California. Remember our train trip on the Coast Starlight last year? You could tell it was California by looking out the window!
Yep, that was still California.
Well, on this, our new driving trip, we woke up here:
We stayed here!
And this was the view out our window:
Those are trees, Monkey.
Believe it or not, we finally finished California, and the next State you get is Oregon.
Oregon! What a magical sounding name! It makes me think of Pioneers forging new trails across uncharted lands, slogging through mossy hills and crunching untrod pinecones underfoot. It makes me think of trees and history, and you know, that’s what we have!
We have never been on a covered bridge before.
This is where the Pioneers went through.
And there was also an historic place where the people roll a ball on the floor and make a lot of racket, and cheer and seem to have fun in special shoes.
How is this historical?
All I know, is I was worn out at the end of that day. Good thing Oregon has wonderful sleeping accomodations.
If Oregon wants us to see more of it tomorrow, we have got to get some rest.
Good night!
