We left the Bay Area intending to follow Route 1 along the coast the rest of the way north to Oregon but with the Jag giving us some anxiety, we instead took 101 to be closer to civilization. Still 101 is, in itself, a pretty drive.

As you may recall (if you have read the rest of this blog) this trip is part recreation of the one my parents took the family on back in ’65. One of the things we did was drive through a redwood.

Crescent City, near the Oregon line and the end of a long day.

That’s about it from California. What did we think of it?  Like most of the rest of the country there is the good, bad and ugly but we liked it and would love to go back and see more of it.

So where’s the song you may ask? Here ya go…Song
